FALL RIVER, Mass. - Fall River Police have made no arrests Monday in a vicious assault that has left a teen in critical but stable condition, after he was hit on the head with a hammer.

Police say the assault happened in Fall River near Rodman Street on Saturday night. According to police, two groups of people began arguing, which quickly escalated.

The arguing culminated in a 16-year-old boy being attacked with a hammer. He was struck in the head, leaving him in critical condition, according to police.

Fall River police believe the incident was gang-related.

The suspect has not been found by police.
