An elderly man was walking in Passyunk Square when three youths whacked him in the face for no apparent reason.
The 66-year-old was strolling along the 900 block of Annin Street at 1:15 a.m. Sunday when the trio hit him twice in the head with a baseball bat before running west on Annin Street, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said.
A medic transported him to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital to treat facial injuries. The youngsters did not steal anything from the man.
Police did not provide a description of the offenders.
