On Thursday, August 26, 2021, at about 7:30 a.m., an adult female was walking at Lake Elizabeth near the Boat House while talking to her brother on the phone. An unknown male suspect approached the female victim confronting her; he began cursing at her and stated, “you’re not supposed to talk to your brother like that” in English and Hindi. The suspect approached the victim aggressively and punched her 3-4 times in the head with a closed fist, causing her to fall to the ground and briefly lose consciousness. The suspect then picked up the victim’s phone and threw it into the lake.

We are asking for the public’s assistance in identifying the suspect. He is described as:

A male adult mid 40’s to 50 years old, 5’10” – 5’11” with an average athletic build, dark brown eyes, black straight hair cut short, full dark beard and mustache, and a medium complexion. At the time of the incident, he wore a black windbreaker-type jacket, grey sweatpants, and running shoes.
