What We Know: Police in Springfield arrested four people, including three juveniles, after an assault at Fassnight Park Sunday evening.

Officers responded to reports of a large disturbance and found a man on the ground with injuries.

As officers worked the scene, a large crowd gathered and became disruptive. Police used pepper spray to clear the area.

Three juveniles were arrested, while a fourth was released to a guardian.
