The Lakewood Police Department has taken to social media in a bid to secure leads from the public regarding an assault that occurred early last month. In a post on Facebook on Saturday, authorities shared images of three males believed to be involved in an altercation that took place on October 3. According to the Lakewood Police Department, the assault happened at around 6:54 P.M. near the Arc Thrift Store on West Colfax Avenue.
As per the details provided, the victim, an employee on his way back from a break, was reportedly confronted and then struck in the face by one of the individuals, causing him to fall to the ground. The other two suspects stood by as the attack unfolded. Walking back to his job, the nature of the participation from these other two males remains unspecified. Following the incident, the three males left the scene on foot, leaving the victim injured. The authorities are urging anyone with information related to the case to help in the identification process.
