_ 941 Spring Creek Rd.: Officer were dispatched to Parkridge East Hospital, Tuesday, in regard to a delayed assault. When officers arrived they spoke with a man in the emergency room who had multiple lacerations to his face and his left eye was severely swollen dried blood around it.

According to a police report, the victim said that he and his girlfriend were walking on Stateline Road returning to their house from a trip to a convenience store at about 7:30 p.m. when a brown van pulled into the parking lot of Scott Memorial Church. The victim said two men exited the vehicle, approached the victim and began punching him without saying a word.

After the two men stopped slugging the victim, the suspects got back into their vehicle and took off own Stateline Road. According to the report, the victim’s girlfriend ran back to the convenience store, called her mother who came to the scene and drove them to the hospital.
