Summary
Six hooded suspects are being sought after surveillance video showed an elderly man attacked outside a 7-Eleven on Liberty Heights Avenue in Baltimore's Northern District just before 4 a.m. on July 7.
Video appears to show the group knocking the man to the ground several times, throwing objects at him and brandishing weapons, including what looked like an assault rifle and a sword, during an attempted robbery.
Baltimore police said the victim suffered minor bruising and asked the public for help identifying the suspects; investigators could not confirm whether the group was tied to other crimes.
The assault surfaced days after Mayor Brandon Scott highlighted a drop in city violence, with 50 homicides so far this year — down 23.1% from the same point last year.
