GULF SHORES, Ala. (AP) – Three golfers were attacked at an Alabama tournament by people dressed in camouflage who ran out of the woods during a fight over an air horn, police said.
The golfers were at the Craft Farms Golf Resort in Gulf Shores on Sunday when they confronted someone blowing an air horn during their back swings on hole three, WALA-TV reports.
Several people then rushed out of the woods and assaulted them before running off, according to Gulf Shores police. One of the golfers suffered broken teeth and a cut to the head.
Police tell WALA-TV up to six people were involved in the assault. Two other people may have been in a getaway car.
A resident took a photo of the car and license plate, and Gulf Shores Police Lt. Jason Woodruff said Wednesday officers were close to identifying the assailants.
