Jesuits attacked

Police are investigating a report of an attack on two young Jesuits near the sea wall. Both were relieved of cash and their drivers’ licenses. During a scuffle, one was left nursing a cut on the right shoulder that required stitches. The February 14 attack occurred some time after 8 p.m. while five young Jesuits went for a regular evening walk. Two wandered off from the group and were attacked from behind by two men brandishing knives.
