BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- A 14-year-old was attacked with a baseball bat in the 4700 block of Stellabrooke Lane, Baltimore County police say.

It happened Wednesday afternoon when the boy was returning home from school with a relative.

When he got out of the car, the suspect approached him and hit him several times with the bat, then ran.

The teen is in serious condition at a local hospital.
