WOOSTER, Ohio (WPVI) -- Two homeless men were brutally attacked by three teenagers on the steps of a church.

Then the teens took turns hitting the men with baseball bats.

The suspects are described as white males, between 14 and 15 years old.

The victims - one of them a veteran - suffered injuries to their heads and hands.

The 39-year-old veteran was taken to the hospital for his injuries.
