Temecula, California - On Sunday, October 12, 2008, Temecula Police Officers followed up on information received regarding a felony battery that occurred two days before, during which the victim sustained serious facial injuries. This battery occurred as the victim and some friends were walking on Chantemar Way, near North General Kearny Road, where they apparently became involved in a dispute with three other men and a young woman. Shortly after the dispute, the victim was battered by at least two men who returned to confront him.
