Detroit's finest are on the hunt for two men linked to a brutal beatdown involving baseball bats that took place earlier this month, local officials report. The violent encounter occurred on East Jefferson Avenue in a party store parking lot where two suspects viciously struck a 44-year-old man before making their getaway in a white Chevy pickup truck. According to CBS News Detroit, the incident unfolded at 1:36 p.m. on Tuesday, April 2.

The victim, whose identity remains undisclosed, swiftly received treatment for his injuries in a local hospital. To apprehend the attackers, authorities have released descriptions: the first suspect, clad in all black, is a male estimated to be in his late 20s to early 30s, while the second suspect matches a similar age profile and was spotted wearing a blue jacket and blue jeans, as per ClickOnDetroit.

Detroit Police's 5th Precinct has actively been sharing surveillance images of the suspects, hoping that public recognition will lead to their swift capture. Both of the suspected assailants were able to flee the scene together, police said, leaving behind not only a battered individual but unanswered questions about the motive and nature of this assault.
