LAGRANGE, Ga. — LaGrange police have arrested two people and are searching for one more after they attacked a man they were supposed to be buying a gun from.

Officers were dispatched to the area Lexington Park Dr. just before 2 p.m. on Saturday in reference to an armed robbery.

On the scene, they found a man who was bleeding from his head who told them he ran to that location after he was attacked.

The man told officers that he was supposed to be meeting a man to sell him a gun, but two men and a woman showed up to their meeting location.
