Police said a group of four or five teenagers assaulted someone at a Quizno's sandwich shop, shoplifted at a liquor store, threw a fire extinguisher through a window, attacked a teenager and then went into the G.I. Joe's store north of the Northgate Shopping Center.

"They were all drunk. They just went in there and beat the customer up in there," said Matt Johnson, a witness.

The man was hospitalized. His condition was not available Thursday morning.

Police were looking for one or two other people in connection with the attack.
