Both employees were then hit on the head and face. Pumpkins in excess of 20 pounds were also thrown on their heads as they lay on the ground, the teens reportedly told police.

They followed hitting him with a pumpkin. He was already unconscious, so all you could see was blood and pumpkins, a witness who is a friend of one of the victims told WREG.
