Authorities say Robert and James DeLeon—owners of the XL Grindhouse restaurant in Oldtown Salinas—attacked the 55-year-old man because he often loitered around their business.

The Salinas Californian reports (http://bit.ly/V6o5zA) that the 43-year-old Robert DeLeon and 32-year-old James DeLeon are both charged with attempted murder in the Oct. 11 attack.

They entered their pleas on Tuesday.

Their alleged victim, Raymond Anderson, slipped into a coma, but is now recovering.

Police say they learned Anderson had been attacked after someone who had contact with him called 911.
