Eighty-year-old St. James man assaulted

Information sought on his attacker

 

 

An 80-year-old St. James man is hospitalized in North Memorial Medical Center in Robbinsdale after being assaulted yesterday (June 26) near his home.

St. James Police Department Officers responded just before 1 p.m. to a location at 11th Street South and 2nd Avenue South in St. James on a report of a fight between two men.

The 80–year–old victim, Pascual Sanchez, told police that a younger Hispanic male wearing a red shirt and blue jeans walked by his property. Sanchez was outside in the yard and exchanged words with the suspect. The suspect continued to walk west, before walking back past Sanchez’s property a short time later. That’s when police say the suspect assaulted Sanchez and fled.

The suspect is described as 5′ 9″ and weighs 100 pounds.

Sanchez was taken by ambulance to Mayo Health System-St. James, and later airlifted to North Memorial with injuries.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact the St. James Police Department at 507–375–3222.
