Police seek the public’s help in locating “two males who appeared to randomly attack pedestrians in two incidents Sunday" March 8.
In the first incident, two Jersey City, NJ, men were walking at East Congress and Habersham streets about 7:13 p.m. when the car (possibly a Cadillac DeVille) stopped beside them; “the passenger exited and punched a 35-year-old victim several times in the face.” Witnesses confirmed the report.
At 8 p.m., a 21-year-old woman attending college in Savannah reported “she was walking with a male when the car stopped near them and she was punched and knocked down by the passenger,” who is described as a black male, about 6 ft. with a slender to medium body style, short hair and light complexion.
