Police seek suspect in El Monte beating
EL MONTE -- Police sought the public's help Sunday in finding a man who savagely beat another man in front of a local liquor store, and in front of a surveillance camera.
A 27-year-old El Monte man suffered a broken jaw and had several teeth knocked out in the unprovoked attack which occurred about 1:30 p.m. Thursday in front of Little Five Points Liquor, 2602 Mountain View Road, El Monte police Sgt. David Vautrin said in a written statement.
The victim was walking near the store when he was attacked and repeatedly punched by a Latino man between 15 and 19 years old, about 5 feet 7inches tall, with light brown hair, dark brown eyes, a white t-shirt and unknown color shorts, police said.
Police have released video footage captured by a store surveillance camera in hopes of someone recognizing the attacker.
Anyone with information is asked to call the El Monte Police Department.
