AUGUSTINE, Fla. &#8212; Three homeless people were hurt &#8212; two hospitalized in critical condition &#8212; after they were beaten by four teenagers &#8212; two of them cousins &#8212; on Monday night, according to the St. Johns County Sheriff&#8217;s Office.<br \/>\nThe beating happened about 11:15 p.m. along railroad tracks behind the Cobblestone Village Shopping Center on state Road 312. Deputies said the transients were approached while they were sleeping underneath a railroad bridge and beaten with a board, a shopping cart and other objects.<br \/>\nAndrew Christianson, 43, and Andrew Robert, 53, were hospitalized at Flagler Hospital with what were described as major injuries.<br \/>\nMichael McMeans, 31, had only minor injuries and was able to get to a Hooter&#8217;s restaurant at the shopping center and get help. Deputies said he refused medical treatment.<br \/>\nDeputies they arrested Jontae Anderson and Reginald Anderson, both 17, several blocks away. They were charged aggravated battery and attempted robbery and booked into a state Department of Juvenile Justice facility.<br \/>\nTuesday afternoon, the St. Johns County Sheriff&#8217;s Office announced two more arrests. These 16- and 15-year-olds were also charged with attempted robbery and aggravated battery. By policy, Channel 4 will not release their names unless they are charged as adults.<br \/>\nThe victims told investigators they were punched and kicked and struck with a large stick. One said that three young people threw him down a concrete embankment.<br \/>\nAccording to Sgt. Chuck Mulligan, a teenage boy and girl were also at the scene during the beating. They were questioned and released.<br \/>\n&#8220;(They) stood by and watched, but in no way participated in the acts,&#8221; Mulligan said. &#8220;In some ways, (they) may have tried to verbally stop it.&#8221;<br \/>\nDeputies said a transient camp is located near the site of the beatings.<br \/>\n&#8220;(The victims) don&#8217;t have nothing to their name, anyhow. &#8220;said long-time St. Augustine resident Stephen Reed. &#8220;I don&#8217;t understand why people would go about doing things like that.&#8221;<br \/>\nThe Andersons are both students at St. Augustine High School.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"video-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowFullScreen allowTransparency=\"true\" class=\"vzaar-video-player\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"252\" id=\"vzvd-1194127\" mozallowfullscreen name=\"vzvd-1194127\" src=\"http:\/\/view.vzaar.com\/1194127\/player\" title=\"vzaar video player\" type=\"text\/html\" webkitAllowFullScreen width=\"448\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>ST.
