Sierra Madre man assaulted – Loses teeth
At 11:30 pm, SMPD officers responded to a call of a disturbance in the 400 block of West Sierra Madre Boulevard. They were met by the victim, male 51 years of age, who was bleeding from the mouth. He informed the officers that he was taking photographs of a vehicle that was illegally parked in his carport when he was confronted by a male who challenged him about the photos. A verbal argument ensued and the suspect punched the victim in the face multiple times. The suspect then fled the scene. Follow up investigation located a resident of the apartment complex who may be the girlfriend of the suspect. This led to a possible identification of the suspect and detectives are currently attempting to locate him. The victim lost a few teeth in the incident but declined medical treatment initially.
