Kent Police want the public’s help to solve an assault case from last November.

Detectives are investigating an assault that occurred on Nov. 18 near the After 5 Sports Bar, in the 21000 block of 108th Avenue Southeast, according to a Wednesday police media release.

At about 2:18 a.m., officers were dispatched to the area whereupon contact was made with the victim, a 43-year-old Kent man. He had injuries consistent with being assaulted; however, the victim could not clearly explain what had happened.

Witnesses stated that the victim had been kicked in the head after being knocked to the ground and the male shown in the surveillance photos is believed to have been involved.

Investigators have exhausted efforts in identifying the suspect, and are now asking for the public’s help. Anyone with information regarding this incident can call the Kent Police Department tip line at 253-856-5808.
