Two offenders inflicted head injuries to a man in Marconi Saturday night.
Responding to a 7:58 p.m. call, authorities ventured to the 2700 block of South 17th Street where they met with a man who relayed that a pair of unknown males walked up to him and hit him in the head with an unknown object, presumably a bat, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. When the victim, who had been intending to make his way to his vehicle on the same block, fell to the ground, his attackers continued to deliver blows to his body before fleeing southbound on 17th Street.
The victim headed home to call for help, receiving transport to the Thomas Jefferson University Hospital Trauma Unit, Tolliver said, where he received assistance for his head injuries. He could describe the aggressors only as possibly being white and wearing hoodies.
