An early-morning assault on a quiet Westland cul-de-sac ended with four people in custody last Friday, after police say they found a man on the ground with what appeared to be very serious injuries.
Officers were called to the 32000 block of Manistee Court around 3:30 a.m., where they discovered the injured man and rushed him to a hospital. Investigators then tracked the people suspected of carrying out the assault to another location where they were believed to be hiding and arrested four individuals there, according to police. The department said there was no ongoing threat to the public.
As reported by CBS Detroit, the Westland Police Department said details about the victim and the arrested individuals had not yet been released and that officers were still working to determine what led up to the attack. The news release did not list names or specific charges.
"All parties in this incident were acquainted with each other and there is no threat to the public stemming from this incident," the department wrote in its news release, according to CBS Detroit. Officials did not immediately provide further details about identities or possible charges as the investigation continued Friday evening.
