Niagara Falls Police responded to the 400 block of 18th Street around 3:30am on September 20th after reports of an assault.
Upon arrival, officers made contact with a 56-year-old white male who was soaked in blood. The victim stated he was riding his bike in the area around 2:20am when two black males approached him. One of the males stated, “why you riding down our street?”
The victim did not give a response and attempted to continue traveling down the block. However, he was blocked by the males who then started to attack him.
He was punched several times in the face and body. Then, without warning, he was struck by one of the males with a hard object to his face and back of his head. The unknown object caused significant bleeding.
The victim was unable to tell police what the object was. He did not know who the two males were and was unable to remember a physical description – possibly due to a concussion. In addition to the assault, the male suspects stole his silver BMX bike valued at $100.
AMR arrived and transported the victim to Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center for treatment of two large lacerations to the back of his head and face. Officers also observed a possible broken nose.
There are no known suspects. No further information is available at this time.
