The aggressor struck the man in the face, resulting in a nose injury and heavy bleeding. The incident happened around 1:20 a.m. Police and rescuers who arrived at the scene provided first aid to the victim.

Witnesses reported that the attacker is known in the area as a person without a permanent residence and possibly with mental health issues. After the attack, the perpetrator fled the scene.
