According to the Guelph Police Service, officers responded to a call of an assault at a business on Clair Road East at Gordon Street on April 14th at approximately 1 a.m. Upon arrival, investigators determined that the victim had been drinking with a couple he did not know earlier that evening at an establishment. The trio then proceeded to another establishment where they continued to consume alcohol. As they were leaving the second business, the victim confronted the male suspect about his disrespectful behavior towards the staff. The suspect responded by punching the victim in the face and fleeing the scene in a white Ford F-150 with his female companion, who was driving the vehicle. Investigators are eager to speak with a man who was captured on security video footage in the vicinity of the incident. He is described as having a short, stocky build, a large dark beard, dark hair, and was wearing a dark shirt. Anyone with information is urged to contact the Guelph Police Service at 519-824-1212 ext. 7452 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
