Police seek identity of man after assault victim hit head on pavement, left unconscious
Winnipeg police have released images from a security camera in the hope someone will recognize a man wanted in connection with a serious assault earlier this year that left another man unconscious. A 34-year-old man was found unconscious after he hit his head on the pavement following the assault on Navy Way, off Assiniboine Avenue, on April 19. He was rushed to hospital and stabilized before being released, but will require further medical treatment and is likely to have a lengthy recovery, police said in a news release on Friday. Investigators say the 34-year-old got into a verbal argument with a man who was causing a disturbance outside his home around 5 p.m. The 34-year-old went outside and was immediately assaulted and thrown to the ground, hitting his head, police said. Witnesses described the attacker as tall, about 25-30 years old, with shaggy brown hair and a short brown beard. He was wearing light blue jeans, white Nike runners with a black swoosh logo and a blue Winnipeg Jets jersey with Byfuglien and 33 in white on the back.
