After reports of an assault, police arrived on the scene to find the victim crouched on the ground holding his head, on which there was a large, red bump.

According to a witness, who had been in his room across the street, he heard a commotion outside his window and looked out. He saw a group of men and another man on the ground and called the police. The suspects fled and possibly got into a taxi.

The victim told police he noticed a group of men walking behind him. When he turned around to see what they wanted, one of the men, without saying anything, punched him in the face. The victim fell to the ground and the men grabbed his wallet and removed $270 of cash.

According to the victim, his attacker was "dressed like a pimp" with a black jacket, black jeans, a Kangol-style hat and tinted glasses. There was a woman with the man wearing a white T-shirt and tight blue jeans and who had a "large rear end," according to the victim.

Police determined the suspect caught a cab from the area and was dropped off near North 46th Street and Aurora Avenue North, possibly entering a motel.

The description of the suspect was similar to a man police had contacted earlier that night in the area. Police showed photos of the man to the victim, who said, "[Expletive] yeah, that is him."

The suspect was not contacted or questioned by police. The victim disregarded advice about going to the hospital due to his insurance coverage.

During his regular rounds, the manager of a secured apartment building noticed that the security door and the inner door to the mailroom had been forced open.

Several parcels belonging to residents had been torn open. Their contents were left on the floor, apparently "of no use to the suspect."

Surveillance footage showed a man forcing his way into the mail room and opening parcels. Footage also showed the suspect wandering the parking garage.

Though the apartment is a secure building, police noticed there was a brick placed outside the front door that the manager said was sometimes used to prop the door open to assist with moving in or carrying groceries.
