ACAPULCO, Mexico -- Mexican police say assailants hurled two grenades at a police station in the southwestern beach town of Zihuatanejo, wounding one officer and four civilians.

The Guerrero state Public Safety Department says men in an SUV threw the explosive devices at the station Saturday. Three taxi drivers, a woman and a policeman were hurt.

Grenade attacks have become a fixture of Mexico's brutal drug violence.

Last week, five civilians and an officer were wounded in a grenade assault on a police patrol in western Michoacan state.

Mexican police say they are outgunned by drug gangs that attack them every day.
