**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.
