Police were called, but the suspect fled before they arrived.
Less than a week later, on Saturday, June 24, at around 10:07 p.m. police were called back to the area after the same suspect allegedly struck the victim with an object, and then lashed them in the face and upper body with a sharp-edged weapon.
The suspect again managed to flee before police arrived.
