Charges were pending against two men arrested yesterday in connection with a raid the night of July 30 on a suspected Young Street gambling house by a rival group.

During the incident, two doormen were beaten with aluminum baseball bats.

The two suspects — men 29 and 33 from Waikele and NÅnÅkuli, respectively, were with a group of 20 men who forced their way into a gambling room about 11:30 p.m., police said. The two doormen, 40 and 42, were treated for injuries that included broken bones, police said.

The raiding group ransacked the room, damaging gambling equipment and furniture, but nothing was stolen, police said.

Career Criminal Unit investigators booked the 33-year-old yesterday on suspicion of second-degree assault after he was identified in a photo lineup by one of the injured men. The second suspect was arrested last night on Pohukaina Street and booked on suspicion of attempted second-degree murder and second-degree assault.
