“A physical altercation ensued between the officer and one of the suspects, but ultimately both suspects were able to flee the scene on foot,” WPD said.

Yuba County Sheriff’s Office, The California Highway Patrol, and the Sacramento Police Department reportedly worked together to locate the suspects. One suspect was found hiding in the Wheatland Ranch area and the other was found in Sacramento County later on in the day, according to WPD.

Both suspects were booked into the Yuba County Jail for numerous alleged felony violations. The victim was transported to Rideout Hospital in Marysville for injuries sustained in the assault.
