Kennewick police and Tri-Cities Crime Stoppers are looking for a stolen vehicle suspected of being used to run down a 15-year-old boy Saturday.

The car is a cream 1984 Chevy Caprice Classic, with Washington plates 266UXL. It has four doors, mismatched wheels and one small tire -- similar in size to a spare tire.

Officers say the stolen car was used in a vehicular assault that left the Pasco teen with a broken leg and head injury that required several staples.

The car was stolen from the area of Fifth Avenue and Gum Street.

The incident occurred around 3:15 p.m. at Eighth Avenue and Fir Street. The victim was walking with a friend, also 15 from Pasco, when they were confronted by multiple men in the stolen car, police said.

The suspects are believed to be gang members. One suspect is said to have a tattoo on the left side of his neck.

The two victims are not suspected to have gang affiliations. Police say the suspects may have thought the teens were rival gang members based on the color of clothes they were wearing.

One suspect got out of the car armed with a bat and reportedly chased one boy into an irrigation canal, police said.

The driver then accelerated and hit the other boy with the right front portion of the car. The victim was treated at Kennewick General Hospital.

Anyone with information about the stolen car or suspects is asked to call Tri-Cities Crime Stoppers at 586-8477 or visit tricitiescrimestoppers.org. Tips can also be sent by text message by writing "Text TIP 411" plus the message to CRIMES (274637).

Crime Stoppers pays a cash reward of up to $1,000 for information that results in a felony arrest. All calls are confidential.
