FLOWERY BRANCH — The Hall County Sheriff’s Office arrested four men following an altercation at a park located on Lake Lanier on Saturday, May 30.
The incident took place at Burton Mill Park located in the 6500 block of Yacht Club Road in unincorporated Flowery Branch.
At approximately 4:45 p.m. deputies responded to the park for a stabbing incident call. After deputies conducted their preliminary investigation, the victim, a 19-year-old man from Buford was physically attacked inside the park by several men. The victim and one of his attackers have been in an altercation previously.
A knife was brought into play when a relative of the victim, a 19-year-old male brought out a knife to defend the victim from further harm. Neither the victim nor his relative are expected to have any charges brought against them.
Hall County Fire Services were called in to transport the victim and three other men were transported to local hospitals for treatment of wounds suffered in the altercation.
