Winnipeg police have released a photo of a man wanted in connection with a random assault at The Forks that left another man unconscious.
Around 11:15 p.m. on June 6, a 30-year-old man was inside The Forks Market when he was assaulted and knocked to the ground, then beaten even after he lost consciousness, police said in a news release on Tuesday.
The attacker took an item from the victim before walking away.
The victim was sent to hospital by ambulance in stable condition.
Police believe the attacker later threw the stolen item at a woman walking a dog near the river path. Investigators are hoping to locate and speak to the woman, as she may have information that could help them.
The attacker was last seen in the area of Bonnycastle Park, near Assiniboine Avenue and Garry Street.
He is described as 25-35 years old with a medium to heavy build. He was wearing a black T-shirt, black pants, a black New York Yankees baseball cap and black shoes.
Anyone with information about that man or anyone who was at The Forks and may have witnessed the assault is asked to call the police service's major crimes unit at 204-986-6219.
