NORTH CAPE MAY – On March 24 at about 7:49 p.m., officers from the Lower Township Police Department responded to a 9-1-1 call of an alleged assault that had just occurred at a licensed establishment in North Cape May.
According to a release, upon arrival, officers made contact with the victim who stated that he had just been struck above his right eye with an unknown object, by an unknown white male in his 40s wearing a green shirt.
The victim had sustained a serious injury to his head and was bleeding from a laceration just above his right eye. His eye was swollen shut and he complained of blurred vision.
An initial search of the area and inside the establishment for the actor was unsuccessful. The actor had apparently fled the scene prior to officers’ arrival.
