Both men are in critical condition at Meridia Huron Road Hospital.

The owner's name is not being released at this time because his family has not been notified.

It's unclear how many men were involved, but officials are seeking one or more men in connection with the incident.

A description has not been provided, and no other details are known.

Meanwhile, Mike Polensek, the City Council member for that area, is outraged.

"We have to say to that hoodlum element that you are not going to get away with what you are doing," he said. "We're going to track you down."
