A 25-year-old man suffered several cuts to his face following a late-night attack last month in the Rochester Avenue area near North Road in Coquitlam.
The victim was walking home from work at around 10:30 p.m. on Oct. 22 when he was confronted by three men. One of them stepped in front of the victim and allegedly punched him in the face several times before all three suspects fled.
Police are now searching for the attacker, who they describe as a Caucasian man in his early 20s; he is 5'9" tall, has a slim build with brown eyes and short hair. Police said he was wearing a leather-type jacket and jeans at the time of the attack.
Anyone with any information about the suspect is asked to call Coquitlam RCMP at 604-945-1550 and quote file number 2011-29836. Those who wish to remain anonymous can contact Crime Stoppers by phone at 1-800-222-8477 or online at www.solvecrime.ca.
