He described the offender as a male black, 17 to 18 years gold, 5’3”, wearing a baseball cap. The victim said he could identify his attacker and could assist in creating a composite image. Police photographed the victim’s injuries, which included wounds to his lip and left elbow, as well as a large bump on his forehead.
