According to the release, the 16-year-old and 17-year-old were seen throwing garbage on the ground in the parking lot at Stehli Beach in Bayville before cutting off a driver, a 38-year-old man who questioned their behavior, at the entrance to the park. The teens then struck the driver's car multiple times with a metal bat and lacrosse stick. There was damage to man's car.
