The victim was walking around 11:40 PM on Morsweg, on his way home. Near a bakery, he was suddenly attacked by two men and pushed into an alley. During the ensuing assault, the victim was injured in the face. The men then fled in an unknown direction. Ambulance personnel examined the victim; he did not need hospital treatment. Because the police were called half an hour after the report, a search in the area for the suspects was unfortunately unsuccessful.

The detectives are investigating the case and would like to get in touch with people who may have seen something in the Morsweg area related to this case. Did you perhaps see the two light-skinned men in dark clothing running near Morsweg shortly before midnight? Did you notice anything else that could be relevant to the investigation?
