(FOX40.COM) — Two men who were caught assaulting a woman have been arrested, according to the Wheatland Police Department.

At approximately 5:40 a.m. Wednesday, the Wheatland Police Department responded to the Bear Ridge Apartments, located at 1969 Spenceville Road, on a report of a woman being assaulted. When a police officer arrived, he said two men were “actively assaulting” a woman.

“A physical altercation ensued between the officer and one of the suspects, but both suspects were ultimately able to flee the scene on foot,” WPD said.

The Yuba County Sheriff’s Office, California Highway Patrol and the Sacramento Police Department reportedly worked together to locate the suspects. One suspect was found hiding in the Wheatland Ranch area and the other in Sacramento County later in the day, according to WPD.

Both suspects were booked into the Yuba County Jail for numerous alleged offenses. The victim was transported to Rideout Hospital in Marysville for injuries sustained during the attack.
