(WWJ) Detroit Police are searching for a suspect wanted for assaulting a 69-year-old man who tried to get into the wrong car in a grocery store parking lot.
Police said the incident happened at around 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, February 6, in the 9700 block of Harper on the city's east side.
According to investigators, the victim walked out of the store and up to a white Jeep Cherokee that he thought belonged to the person who'd dropped him off. As he tried to open the door, the victim realized that it wasn’t the same vehicle.
That's when police said the suspect got out of the Jeep, and began beating the victim.
The suspect then got back into the Jeep and drove away.
The victim was taken by EMS to a local hospital where police said he was treated for "non-fatal injuries."
