TOLUCA LAKE (CNS) - Police today sought the public's help to identify three men who assaulted a 65-year-old man and his adult son at a Toluca Lake pub last year.
The two victims exited the pub located at 10111 Riverside Drive about 2 a.m. on Aug. 29, 2021, when the son was approached by a man ``in an aggressive manner, appearing to start a fight,'' according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
The victim's father attempted to stop the altercation when the suspect punched him in the face and knocked him unconscious. The victim attempted to protect his father and was also knocked to the ground.
The man and two additional suspects then began punching and kicking the father and son as they were on the ground, according to police. The suspects fled the scene when witnesses approached to intervene.
