JACKSON, Miss. (AP) A man lured two brothers, ages 5 and 8, from their yard in south Mississippi and took them to his camper trailer, where he sexually abused them and slashed the older boy's throat, authorities said Thursday.
The 8-year-old boy is hospitalized and is expected to survive the Wednesday attack, said Don Bass, chief deputy with Hancock County sheriff's office on the Mississippi coast.
Bass said the older brother, with his throat cut, escaped the suspect's trailer Wednesday evening and ran about 500 yards to a neighbor's house. The neighbor called police.
The children were abducted Wednesday afternoon from a residence in Pearl River County and taken to the trailer in rural Hancock County where he sexually abused both boys, Hancock County Sheriff Ricky Adam said in a news release.
