Police need help identifying the jerk who smashed a 22-year-old woman in the face, knocking her to the ground before striking again.

The horrifying incident was captured on video.

York Regional Police Const. Andy Pattenden says two groups got into a disagreement at a Richmond Hill pub in the Hwy. 7/East Beaver Creek Rd. area around 3 a.m. on April 15.

The fight spilled outside, where the woman was struck by one of the men.

“It was the most vicious of all of the assaults,” Pattenden said Wednesday. “You can consent to a fight but you can’t consent to bodily harm.”

Although the video shows the victim to be agitated, police have no evidence that she hit anyone.

Another man can be seen on the video lashing out at the woman with a belt, but it’s not believed that she was struck by it.

Charges have not been completely ruled out in the belt incident, Pattenden said, but investigators are focused on the man who can be seen hitting her in the face.

Officers have identified some of the people in the group with the man but they have refused to offer up their buddy’s name, he said.

“Investigators have been working diligently on this investigation but have exhausted all leads and have been unable to identify the suspect,” a police statement says. “They are now releasing images and video surveillance of the incident and appealing to the public for assistance in identifying the suspect.”

The woman, who police did not identify, suffered serious injuries. “She has not had a full recovery,” Pattenden said.

The suspect is described as South Asian, 25 to 30 years old, with a medium build and black hair. He was wearing a blue Adidas jacket.

Anyone with information about this assault is asked to contact the York police at 1-866-876-5423, ext. 7241, or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS.
