RICHMOND, Va. -- Richmond Police released photos of two men -- described as persons of interest -- in an August 23 assault in Richmond's Fan District. The men, police said, may have witnessed the violent crime.

"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:
