ASSAULT AT THE "SALLY"

At around 15:50, WCPD units were dispatched to the parking lot of the Salvation Army shelter on the 100 block of East Market Street for the report of a subject down. Upon arrival, a male in his 20's or 30's was bleeding from the head and unconcious, reportedly after being assaulted. At the time of the incident (at which I stumbled upon while en route to a bar to watch the Phillies game), police were searching for a black male approximately 5-foot-10 inches in height, possibly wearing a white tank top. Other than that, details on the alleged actor are sketchy. The victim was taken to the Goodwill firehouse and flown to HUP via PennSTAR #2. There were some indications that the victim was intoxicated and allegedly causing problems amongst the other residents at the shelter, but that doesn't justify getting assaulted to the point of getting flown to a trauma center.
