Calgary police are hoping the public can help them identify a suspect in an assault in the community of Victoria Park two months ago.
On June 5 around 12:05 a.m., police believe an assault took place involving two men — unknown to each other — outside of the Bacchus Karaoke & Bar, located at 270 14 Avenue S.E.
In a news release on Friday, police say the victim was walking along 14 Avenue with a group of friends when he was approached by an unknown man who engaged in a brief exchange and then struck the victim in the face. Police say the victim fell to the ground where he sustained minor head injuries and a concussion.
Bystanders who witnessed the incident called for medical help and the victim was transported to a hospital at which time the assault was reported to CPS.
The suspect is described as approximately five foot six inches tall with brown hair and a beard. At the time of the incident, police say the suspect was wearing a dark-coloured leather jacket with a yellow horizontal stripe on the back, an olive-coloured hoodie underneath the jacket and a baseball cap.
