Police were also investigating another incident at the same location several days earlier, in which another man was assaulted. This incident, on Nov. 7, was not reported, police said.

During the incident, the victim was approached by three males and physically assaulted. After the assault one of the males went to the victim’s vehicle, which was parked at the gas pumps. He looked inside the vehicle then ran from the scene, as did the other two males.

The victim of the assault appeared to have suffered injuries to his head.

Investigators said they believed the same suspects were responsible for both assaults.

Police are looking to identify the victim of the Nov. 7 assault and are asking him to please come forward.
