“We are combing through all the CCTV video that was collected in the area and hoping to determine what led to this,” Schiavetta explained.

He said it appears the victim and his attacker may have been known to each other.

“Through CCTV, we have identified a possible suspect but we’re early in the investigation,” Schiavetta added. “We have spoken to this person but we [are] a long ways away, still, from charges.”
