   DETROIT (AP) — Two men were arrested in connection with the   
   severe mob beating of a suburban motorist who had accidentally   
   hit a 10-year-old boy who stepped in front of his truck, police   
   said Monday.   
      
   Detroit police Sgt. Michael Woody said a 30-year-old man was   
   arrested Sunday night and a 24-year-old on Monday afternoon.   
   That brings to four the number of people arrested in the assault   
   of 54-year-old Steve Utash after the accident Wednesday.   
      
   Bruce Wimbush, Jr., 17, was charged Monday with assault with   
   intent to commit murder and do great bodily harm, and faces   
   arraignment Tuesday. The fourth is a 16-year-old boy who hasn't   
   been charged but was being held in a juvenile detention   
   facility. Authorities have five days to determine whether   
   someone is charged as an adult.   
      
   Woody said Utash, of Macomb County's Clinton Township, remained   
   in critical condition in a medically induced coma.   
      
   The boy was treated for a leg injury.   
      
   Police initially said a group of at least six people descended   
   on Utash, a tree-trimmer. Woody said Monday that investigators   
   are "not trying to stick to one specific number" as they receive   
   more tips and other information.   
      
   "We wouldn't have been able to get as far as we have" without   
   help from the public, Woody said, though he added, "We're not   
   done yet. We're still very much at the beginning stages of this   
   case."   
      
   The case has outraged the public, clergy and elected officials.   
   Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan called the attack "senseless."   
      
   A prominent black minister, the Rev. Horace Sheffield III, had   
   said Saturday that it was important for community members "to   
   prove that we equally deplore justice and unbridled brutality no   
   matter what color the victim is or of the one committing it."   
      
   Utash is white; Detroit is more than 80 percent black.   
      
   Asked Monday if the case is being investigated as a possible   
   hate crime, Detroit police Chief James Craig told reporters:   
   "The issue of race is being looked at. It's not the sole focus."   
      
   Prosecutor Kym Worthy said in a statement Monday that the case   
   is "unbelievably tragic," but declined further comment "because   
   this investigation is continuing and widening."   
      
   A web page launched to accept donations for Utash's medical   
   bills had raised more than $120,000 by late Monday afternoon. He   
   has no medical insurance.   
      
   "Mr. Utash did the right thing by stopping to help a child in   
   need, and, appallingly, was punished for doing so," said state   
   Rep. Brian Banks, a Harper Woods Democrat whose district   
   includes the scene of the attack. "People should not be punished   
   for doing the right thing."
