The suspect pulled a knife from his waistband so the victim threw his bicycle at him. Several other males joined the suspect so the victim started running towards Main Street. He heard several shots being fired at him. A tow truck was struck by a stray round as the driver pulled out of the 7-11 parking lot. There were no injuries. The suspects fled the area on foot.
