Police said there were three assaults and one robbery in one night. A group of students were knocked to the ground by a group of about 20 juvenile boys and girls, and 19-year-old Christina Lauletta's cell phone was taken in the assault.
A 15-year-old male and a 17-year-old male were arrested shortly after the incident and charged with aggravated assault, robbery, and related offenses.
Later that night, a 15-year-old male was arrested after he allegedly assaulted a Temple Police officer.
