New Westminster police are appealing for witnesses to come forward following an assault in Moody Park on Wednesday.
Police say around 4 p.m. a 27-year-old man was attacked near the northeast baseball diamond. He was punched and kicked multiple times by two young men and was hit on the head with a weapon.
Police believe this to be targeted and the suspects may be known to the victim. They say there’s no risk to the public.
“The victim was transported to the hospital and received stitches for his head wound,” said Sgt. Jeff Scott in a release. “At the time of the assault the surrounding area would have been busy with motorists and park-goers and we’re appealing for anyone that can assist with the police investigation to come forward.”
