When they arrived, they learned an eight-year-old boy had been assaulted by two men inside a haunted house amusement called ‘Kreepy Kastle.”

“The child escaped from the males and fled outside to inform his family,” the SPS said.

“The child suffered injuries to his neck, which required treatment at a hospital.”

Police say it was a stranger assault.

The SPS says it is grateful to the public for helping in the investigation, which resulted in the identification of the suspects.
