LAUDERDALE LAKES, Fla. — Broward Sheriff’s Office detectives asked for the public’s help Thursday in identifying a man who they said is accused of attacking another man who was leaving a Lauderdale Lakes grocery store this past Saturday.
The incident occurred shortly after 7:20 p.m. at the Aldi on 3301 North State Road 7.
Deputies said surveillance footage shows the suspect arguing with the victim inside the store before following him outside.
Seconds after the victim left with his dog, video shows the suspect “sucker punching” him, causing the victim to fall backward and hit his head. Deputies said the victim “sustained significant and serious injures.”
The victim’s family has asked to remain anonymous, and his brother is urging anyone with information about the suspect to come forward.
Anyone with tips is asked to contact BSO Detective Karina Hernandez at 954-321-4236 or submit information through the SaferWatch app.
Anonymous tips are also accepted through Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-7477 and online at browardcrimestoppers.org. Tips that lead to an arrest could qualify for a reward of up to $5,000.
