♦ Monday evening two adult males, wearing brass knuckles, jumped an unidentified 17 year-old male near Sam’s Carwash on the 800 block of East Innes in Salisbury. The 2 assailants fled on foot when their assault attracted the attention of a driver. The victim, although dazed by the attack, reported that no robbery took place and declined treatment. No arrests were made.
Simple and aggravated assaults appear to be almost daily events in Salisbury. While most street beatings are begun by a bareknuckle sucker punch, a growing legion of Salisbury street toughs are sporting brass knuckles. Robbery is not always a motive. The full visceral thrill of heavy-fisted street combat is. Salisbury is the PLACE.
Be advised if you walk the streets of Salisbury, especially after dark, remain alert and aware at all times. Be especially on heightened alert if you are followed or if someone violates the code of the street and deliberately crosses the street toward you. Sometimes a “sucker” attack is led off by a panhandler style request. BAMM! Head bounces on pavement.
In Salisbury or in other dangerous urban areas, street wisdom dictates getting a permit for concealed carry.
If you have any information about the assault near Sam’s Carwash on East Innes or any other simple or aggravated assaults, please contact the Salisbury Police at 704-638-5333 or the Salisbury-Rowan Crime Stoppers at 1-866-639-5245.
