The victim, 45, who was beaten as he sat in his wheelchair, remained in serious condition yesterday at Harborview Medical Center. He apparently suffered a blow to the back of the head from a baseball bat. Jefferson County investigators are uncertain what role three Chimacum High School students played in the attack, but deputies seized their car, which was seen leaving the disabled man's apartment complex. A 20-year-old man who was with the students is suspected of the attack and was booked into the Jefferson County Jail under investigation of assault and burglary. - --- MAP posted-by: Beth
