New Orleans police said two men were attacked in the French Quarter an hour after Halloween ended by two men. A man, who was dressed as Beetlejuice, is being sought for questioning in the incident.

The attack was reported about 1 a.m. Nov. 1 near the intersection of Orleans and Burgundy streets.


Police said the 29- and 37-year-old victims were at the intersection when they were approached by two men, one of which asked to use their cell phone.

"Upon the victims declining, the suspects began following them at which time both victims were struck in the back of the head causing them to lose consciousness," the New Orleans Police Department said in a news release.

The 29-year-old man suffered a fractured skull and subdural hematoma, according to police. The 37-year-old man suffered a laceration to the left side of his face that required nine stitches and a laceration to the back of his head, which required two staples.

When one of the victims regained consciousness, he told police he saw a man dressed as Beetlejuice standing over him.

"The unknown male was reassuring to the victim that everything would be okay while they waited for help," police said.

Detectives would like to speak to the man dressed as Beetlejuice because they believe he may have witnessed the attack.

Anyone with information is asked to call the NOPD at 504-658-6080 or Crimestoppers at 504-822-1111.
