NANTICOKE -- It's supposed to be scary around Halloween, but not quite like this.
Police are investigating reports of a masked man in Nanticoke attacking people with a bow and arrow.
So far two attacks were reported and some people we spoke with are worried that more attacks could happen.
Police don't have a clear motive for why a masked man would be attacking people, but the people who have been attacked do not think this is funny if it's all a prank.
"I mean I've heard gunshots, I've heard paintballs, ice, everything. An arrow is just weird," said Tara Karlowicz of Nanticoke.
Ruth Hirthler says it's also dangerous. Her 15-year-old son was the first person attacked on Coal Street.
Just a day later, a second attack was reported less than a mile away, on East Grand Street.
"He thought it was a joke, somebody messing with him because we all mess with each other like that with Halloween coming up," Hirthler said.
The 15 year old was attacked in front of his home. He says a masked man walked up to him with a bow and arrow and asked him, "Where the drugs were at?" When he said he didn't know. He was hit with the arrow.
Police usually hear just about everything, but they agree this is odd.
"This is messed up and you belong in jail. You need to stop," said 10-year-old Brian Hirthler.
Nanticoke police have one of the arrows used in the attacks and say they may send it off for DNA testing to see if they can identify the alleged attacker.
