GRANDVIEW HEIGHTS, Ohio — Police are searching for two persons of interest who may be connected to a man who was found unconscious in Grandview Heights earlier this week.
Around 7:45 p.m., officers and medics found the victim near the train tracks on West Fifth Avenue, just east of Dublin Road. The man was suffering from severe head injuries and taken to a hospital in critical condition. A police incident report lists the victim as a 57-year-old man.
Information surrounding what happened to him is limited, but police are asking for the public's help in identifying two people who were seen on bicycles around the time he was injured.
Police released two short video surveillance clips showing two people on bicycles riding in the area of where the incident took place. The first video, timestamped around 7:40 p.m., shows a person wearing dark clothing riding by. The second video, timestamped at 7:48, shows a person wearing a red and white jacket.
Police say they "have reason to believe" the two may have been traveling together.
While police say they aren't sure how the man exactly suffered his injuries, the case is being investigated as a felonious assault.
