Authorities said Emirullah Sayin and Mithat Ceylan, both 22 of Delran, were tracked down based on witness accounts and social media posts, the Camden County Prosecutor's Office said.

VOORHEES -- Two Delran men are facing numerous assault charges after authorities said they attacked four people without provocation at a Halloween party last month. 

According to the Camden County Prosecutor's Office, Emirullah Sayin and Mithat Ceylan, both 22, were among a group of men in their 20s who arrived at a Halloween party at a home on Horseshore Drive in Voorhees Township on Oct. 17.

The group arrived at the party, attended mostly by teens and individuals in their early 20s, at around 10:30 p.m. but were asked to leave.

Between an hour and a hour and a half later, the group left the party, but both Sayin and Ceylan stuck around and started punching guests without provocation.

Four victims, a 17-year-old from Gibbsboro, a 19-year-old from Berlin, and a man and woman, both 20, from Voorhees were injured and required treatment at an area hospital. 

Eye witness accounts and social media posts helped lead detectives to Ceylan, who surrendered to police on Nov.6, and Sayin, who was arrested Thursday in Delanco and given $100,00 bail.

Both are charged with two counts of second-degree aggravated assault, two counts of third-degree aggravated assault and one county of second-degree conspiracy to commit aggravated assault. 

Ceylan remains in Camden County Jail in lieu of $100,000 bail.
