By Natatia Bledsoe, public information officer, Fredericksburg Police Department

ASSAULT:
Nader’s Grocery, 508 Caroline St, 9/28 11:55 p.m. An employee reported that four male subjects entered the store and asked to use the bathroom. When told that the business did not have any public restrooms, one of the men walked to the rear of the store and urinated on the floor.

Upon seeing this, the clerk told all of the men to leave the store as he was calling the police. While the clerk was escorting the group out the door, the same man who had urinated on the floor turned and charged the clerk and struck him on the head. The assailant’s three friends pulled him away and out the door.

All of the men were clean shaven white males with military style haircuts and in their 20s. The incident was captured on store surveillance video. The investigation is ongoing.
