Ibrahim M. Abdullahi, 22, of St. Paul, pleaded guilty to aiding and abetting second-degree assault in the May attack.

The same plea was offered to Ahmed F. Hirsi, 22, of St. Paul and will remain open for a week.
Zakaria A. Yusuf, 21, of St. Paul, and Abdiaziz Hirsi, 22, of Minneapolis, have pleaded guilty to the same charge. Yusuf was sentenced Sept. 28 to 180 days in jail and five years of probation. He received a stayed sentence of 21 months. Hirsi will be sentenced Thursday.
