ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) - Police are investigating a report that a group of assailants emerged from the woods in Maryland’s capital city and attacked a man with shovels and a garden rake.
The victim was at a “flea market type event” where multiple vendors were set up in a parking lot in Annapolis on Saturday evening when the suspects struck him multiple times with the garden tools, police said in a report released Monday.
The man was taken to a hospital after suffering head pain and cuts and abrasions to his arms and hands, The Capital Gazette quoted police department spokesman Cpl. Dave Stokes as saying.
The victim told investigators he did not recognize the men that allegedly attacked him, Stokes said.
The group escaped in a black sedan, according to police.
The victim was not identified.
