Police said they were called to South Main Street shortly after midnight Friday morning for a report of a disturbance.
When they arrived, officers say they met with one of victims - an 18-year-old male - who said he was with two other teenage friends at Fish Co. when they got into a verbal fight with several other people that turned physical.
The victim told police that bouncers then kicked them out of the bar, and the fight continued outside.
When they started to walk away, said the victim, the suspects followed them to their car on South Main. At that time, the victim said he saw that the suspects had a knife and a metal bar.
He told police the three tried to get in their vehicle when one of the suspects smashed both the front and rear windows of the vehicle.
The victims then continued to fight with the suspects outside of the car
