Police are searching for a 15-year-old boy after a fight erupted between two teenagers March 10. According to police reports, a 17-year-old boy from Birmingham was picking up his friend near the corner of South Adams Road and Webster Street around 4:50 p.m. Another vehicle pulled up, reports state, with the 15-year-old in the passenger seat, who the first boy knew from school.

The 15-year-old approached the first car and accused the first boy of doing something with a girl he knows. He then punched the 17-year-old, who was still sitting in his car, in the face. When the 17-year-old rolled up the window, the 15-year-old punched the window until it broke. At that point, police say one of the boys called police and the 15-year-old and his driver, a 16-year-old, left the scene before the police arrived. The 17-year-old was treated by paramedics and released on the scene.
