Thursday night, just before 10:00 p.m., Merced County Sheriff Deputies responded to Bobbie Avenue in Winton for an assault.

When deputies arrived, they assisted two victims, adults, with non-life-threatening injuries due to an altercation with another individual who fled the scene, according to Merced County Sheriff Deputy Michael Domingue.

Due to the possibility of the suspect still being in the area, Merced County Sheriff’s Deputies requested assistance from the California Highway Patrol and Stanislaus County Air Unit to set up a perimeter.

Unfortunately, the suspect was able to get away.
