A 16-year-old metro Atlanta student remained in a coma Thursday at Gwinnett Medical Center, after he was dragged while hanging onto a truck, according to witnesses.

Edward Yebra, 16, also of Dacula, is hospitalized in a coma after being dragged by a truck driven by the suspects. Police have arrested the suspects on several charges and are being held in Gwinnett County Detention Center.

Police say Yebra went outside to talk to the two men in the truck and began fighting with them. The next thing friends seen was Yebra being dragged by the truck. He was found several feet up the road and still remains in a coma.
