A man suffered an abrasion to his chin after receiving a punch in Point Breeze last week.
At 11:28 p.m. Jan. 29, authorities responded to a call from a man who stated he had been walking southbound on 22nd Street when he decided to cross over Washington Avenue, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. He heard people running behind him and before he reached Ellsworth Street, one of the galloping males delivered a punch to the left side of his face.
He began running but noted the offenders gave chase. Stopping on Ellsworth Street, he again encountered the striker, who ran past him and kept going, Tolliver said, with the other males turning away and running eastbound on Ellsworth Street. The victim, who told authorities nobody spoke to him to make any demands for property and that no weapons were involved, described two of the attackers as white, 5-foot-10, in their early 20s, having a medium build and wearing dark hoodies. He tabbed the third as having a medium build and possibly wearing a hoodie but could not determine his race.
