Denver police are looking for a group of 18- to 20-year-old men suspected of stealing women’s purses and beating men with baseball bats in two separate incidents near Capitol Hill.

Police spokesman Sonny Jackson said that on two instances, on June 26 and July 16, a group of four or five light-skinned black men or Hispanic men approached a couple walking in the area of 1000 Broadway Street and East 10th Avenue and Pennsylvania Street.

In each incident, the suspects robbed the woman and hit the man with a baseball bat, giving him minor head injuries. The male victims in each incident were taken to the hospital. Jackson said he did not know how long the male victims needed to stay in the hospital.

The suspects fled on foot, possibly getting into an vehicle, Jackson said.

Police are asking anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers at 720-913-7867.
