The NOPD is seeking the public’s assistance in locating and identifying three unknown male subjects believed to be responsible for an aggravated battery that occurred on November 4, 2018 in the 1400 block of Decatur Street.

At about 3:51 a.m., the victim was reportedly driving his vehicle in the area when he came to a stop due to three unknown white males standing in the street and who refused to move. The victim blew his horn in attempt to gain the males’ attention so they would move. The male subjects then allegedly approached the victim’s vehicle and shouted racial slurs, at which time the victim exited his vehicle with a stick. The three males began to attack the victim, striking him with closed fists, brass knuckles and a beer bottle about the head.

The first subject is described as a white male wearing a camouflage sweatshirt and khaki shorts. The second subject is described as a white male wearing a purple LSU cap, purple LSU sweatshirt and either khaki or gold pants. The third subject is described as a white male wearing a purple, grey and gold LSU shirt and khaki shorts
