The employee was walking through the library when the suspect stepped in front of him and hit him, knocking him down, Carringer said. The victim was knocked unconscious and was taken to an area hospital to be treated for a cut to his head.

The suspect is a light-skinned man in his late twenties to early thirties, who is tall with a thin muscular build and weighs about 200 pounds, police said. He has short hair or is bald and has a mustache and was last seen wearing a black, hooded sweatshirt with red drawstrings, light brown pants, white shoes and a Los Angeles Dodgers baseball cap.

Police said he may be homeless, as he carried multiple bags of clothing with him.
