They say it happened before 6:30 p.m. south of De Wolfe Street.

Police describe the men as African-Americans in their 20s that were wearing dark clothing at the time of the incident. Both men left the scene in older-model pickups, according to a press release.

The victim was hospitalized with minor-to-moderate wounds.
