Pa. teens charged in 'Ultimate Fighting' bout

CORRY, Pa. - March 30, 2009 - Corry police Chief Fred Corbett says police began investigating Friday when the mother of one boy told police she believed her son had been jumped and attacked. The other boy was treated for head injuries at a local hospital.

Corbett says police determined the boys agreed to fight each other, mimicking the popular tournament-style fights made popular on television.

Corbett says Monday that both boys are being charged with simple assault in Erie County Juvenile Court. Corbett says simple assault charges are often filed in mutual combat situations.
