Teenager hurt in fight at Edina YMCA
What we know: According to a search warrant filed on Dec. 26, Edina police responded to the YMCA on York Avenue South around 6:11 p.m. on Dec. 20 on a report of a large group of boys fighting in the gym.
The fight started after someone let about 13 boys inside the back door of the YMCA, and then they gathered in the gym before assaulting a 16-year-old boy. The victim told police the people who attacked him were students at Edina High School, and identified one of the people involved.
The victim was taken to the hospital, with authorities noting in the search warrant he had blood stains on his shirt, a cut under his left eye and several contusions. While he was in the back of the ambulance, his "mental state was declining by the repetitiveness of his statements and lack of memories," the search warrant said.
Police seek cellphone video
The investigation: The incident wasn't captured on YMCA surveillance cameras, but people could be seen holding cellphones that appeared to be recording the assault, the search warrant said.
Police are hoping to obtain cellphone video from the fight, and have filed a search warrant to obtain evidence from three phones belonging to three people involved, including the victim, as well as a 14-year-old boy and a 17-year-old boy.
What we don't know: The condition of the victim wasn't listed in the search warrant. It's also unclear if anyone has been arrested.
