Man in Wheelchair Tipped Over, Punched

By Tom Fucoloro March 23, 2010

A man in a wheelchair was tipped onto the ground and punched in the face early March 16 near Third and Pike downtown. According to the police report, the man was having a pleasant conversation with two women when, around 4:30 a.m., one of the women began insulting him and questioning his manhood.


The conversation quickly soured.


After trading insults back and forth, the two women tipped the man's wheelchair onto the pavement. A male suspect, who may have been travelling with the two women, punched him in the mouth. The three then ran off, leaving the victim on the ground.


The man had a cut on his lip, but did not require treatment. No arrests or descriptions were noted in the police report.
