David Albarran, 34, from Elmira, and Elijah Putnam, 18, from Athens, face first-degree felony charges of aggravated assault and conspiracy to commit aggravated assault, along with misdemeanor simple assault charges.
One of the victims sustained a serious facial laceration, while the other two did not suffer significant injuries.
