Police were called to the scene but were unable to find the victim. Monday morning, a detective with the Baltimore Police Department told CBN News in an email, "The incident is being investigated, unfortunately, the victim left the scene prior to officers arrival and investigators have not been able to locate him. Detectives have canvassed all of our area hospitals as well as, conducting a search history for assault calls in case the victim called police to another location."
However, by Monday, detectives with the Baltimore PD had found the unidentified victim, who only had minor injuries and did not seek medical help.
The victim is apparently not cooperating with the police.
"It just goes to show the times we are in," Detective Donnie Moses with the BPD told Fox45. "But more importantly we need our victim, in this case, to let us know who he is. We feel like they know each other and we need this guy off the streets. If you could do this to someone, who else has he assaulted? Who else has he ambushed basically? He needs to be arrested."
The police report of the incident revealed a bystander heard two men arguing. One of the men picked up two bricks and struck the other man in the back of the head, according to Fox45.
