OXFORD CIRCLE - A 17-year-old boy is in the hospital after being abducted and beaten in the Oxford Circle section of the city.
It all began around 11:30 p.m. Sunday night, when police say the boy's parents realized he wasn't home, but his car was still there.
They found three bullets in the basement and a blood trail and notified police.
Police were able to track his cell phone to the 6200 block of Trotter Street where they set up a barricade.
Police were able to negotiate with three people inside the home – two women and a man, all in their 20s.
All three suspects were taken into custody.
The boy is now at St. Christopher's Hospital for Children with severe head and face lacerations.
