Columbus, OH – The Columbus Division of Police is seeking assistance from the public to identify four individuals captured in images connected to a robbery and assault incident that took place on Thursday, October 17.
At approximately 11:46 PM, three victims disembarked from an Uber on the 1700 block of N. High Street. During this time, one suspect attempted to communicate with a female victim, subsequently throwing an object at her and shouting. Another victim who intervened faced physical assault from the four suspects, resulting in him being punched and kicked until he collapsed.
Property was forcibly removed from the victims, with one victim’s belongings being kicked down the sidewalk. Another victim sustained a head injury, allegedly from a tire iron attack, while trying to intervene. The injured parties were later transported to OSU Hospital with serious head lacerations.
