DETROIT (WWJ) -- Detroit police are hoping a tip from the public will help them to identify a man wanted for a violent attack outside an east side liquor store.
Just before 9 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 4, police said the suspect and another man "exchanged words" in the parking lot of Prince Liquor, in the 9900 block of Gratiot Ave., near I-94.
The suspect became irate, police said, and hit the 64-year-old victim twice with a wooden object, punched and kicked him, and threw a glass bottle at him.
