An eleven-year-old and three 12-year-olds have been arrested for a Monday assault that left the victim with life-threatening injuries.
Providence police say the suspects are accused of knocking the 51-year-old victim to the ground on Manton Avenue, then kicking and punching him.
The kids fled the area but were arrested later in connection with a separate incident.
The suspects are being held at the Rhode Island Training School, and the victim remains in serious condition.
