The Prince George RCMP is looking for witnesses for a pair of assaults on July 4th.
Police say the investigation began just after 4:00 a.m. when a witness reported seeing a man get hit over the head with a baseball bat near the 100-block of George Street.
When officers attended, the victim and assailant weren’t able to be located.
“Surveillance from this initial investigation shows a man wearing a black jacket, white t-shirt and black pants get assaulted by another man wearing a black, long-sleeved shirt and jeans.” said Corporal Jennifer Cooper.
Two hours later, police attended the same area for a man that collapsed on the ground, but passed away after being transported to the hospital.
Investigators believe that the deceased may have been the victim of a second assault related to the initial investigation.
Anyone with information on either assault is asked to contact the Prince George RCMP at 250-561-3300.
