More arrests in Six Flags beating

Four teenagers are now in police custody in the case of the severe beating of a teen outside Six Flags Amusement Park in Austell last week. Cobb County police made two more arrests Wednesday. The two teens were both charged with aggravated battery, battery, simple assault and violation of the Georgia Gang Act.
Authorities believe that as many as 25 people may have been involved as participants or witnesses.

Nineteen-year-old Joshua Martin remains in the hospital with serious head injuries. Of the four teens in custody, Six Flags officials say, three are seasonal employees at the park.
