The suspects, two 17-year-olds and a 16-year-old, surrendered voluntarily, according to the Shelton Police Department. The three of them allegedly attacked a 16-year-old male, with one of them striking him with a helmet outside a home on Lazy Brook Road.

All three are charged with assault in connection with a fight that took place at a different location. Police said the fight has a direct link to McGrath's stabbing at a high school party on Laurel Glen Drive later in the same evening.

Police did not release their names but said none of them are Shelton residents.
