"At approximately 2:20 a.m., on Wednesday, August 23, police responded to the 2500 block of West Main Street for the report of an assault. When officers arrived, they found two individuals suffering from severe facial injuries," a Richmond Police spokesperson said. "The victims were transported to a local hospital to be treated."
Police released the following descriptions:
Male with a medium complexion and dark hair. He was last seen wearing a black T-shirt, and blue jeans.
Male with medium complexion with dark hair and a thin goatee. He was last seen wearing a light gray tank top, dark pants, and a thick gold chain.
