Hell's Angels visits Eureka Springs for first time in 20 years

— On Friday night, police stopped six Bandidos, a rival motorcycle group, entering Arkansas on Interstate 40 and told them to stay away from Eureka Springs, where Hells Angels were gathered on a national tour.

The Bandidos didn't stay away, and four of the six were seriously injured Sunday when they were ambushed by Hells Angels armed with knives and baseball bats, Eureka Springs Police Chief Earl Hyatt said.

On Monday, six Hells Angels from New England were in the Carroll County jail facing first-degree battery charges.
