The Aug. 24 attack was captured on surveillance video as the 30-year-old male victim walked alone down an alley in the 300 block of Lenora Street around midnight.
“A lone male suspect quickly approaches the victim from behind and strikes him on the head with what appears to be his fist,” according to the Seattle Police Department. “The victim is knocked to the ground, unconscious. The suspect is then seen rummaging through the victim’s pockets and flipping the victim’s limp body over twice on the pavement.”
The suspect stole the victim’s wallet, cell phone, and shoulder bag before calmly walking away.
The victim was transported to Harborview Medical Center where he was treated for a broken jaw.
Detectives are now trying to identify the suspect. He is described as a black male in his 20’s, 5’10” tall, 240 pounds, and was last seen wearing a white shirt and red baseball cap.
