Assault, Petrie Terrace
Police are investigating the assault of two people out the front of a residence at Petrie Terrace last night.
Around 10.25pm, four men were walking along Clifton Street when one man unlawfully entered a residence and began urinating on the property grounds.
The resident, a 50-year-old man, attempted to remove the man from his property when it’s alleged the offender became aggressive and has punched the resident in the face. Three men with the offender intervened and also assaulted the resident on the road outside the home.
A 52-year-old female, also a resident, attempted to assist the man by pushing the offenders away with a broom.
It’s alleged the offender returned four times in an attempt to incite another altercation. ON the fourth return the offender has pushed the female resident against a vehicle parked in the driveway and punched her in the face before the group left the scene towards Petrie Terrace.
Both victims sustained bruising to their faces and other minor injuries and were treated at the scene by emergency services. The 50-year-old man was transported to the Wesley Hospital for further treatment.
Police are appealing for information that may assist in identifying a man aged in his early 20s, approximately 182cms tall with a solid build (approx 100kgs) and brown spiky hair. He was wearing a Queensland maroon t-shirt without a collar. Anyone who may identify a man who was walking in this vicinity with three other men at the time of the incident is urged to contact police.
