For Immediate release: April 6, 2016

On Tuesday December 18th, 2012, just shortly before 1:00am, Hamilton police responded to reports of a fight taking place at The Pour House, which is located at 1115 Fennell Avenue East in Hamilton.

At the time it was indicated that a 36 year old man (victim) and a 24 year old man (suspect) were at The Pour House consuming alcoholic beverages.

For reasons unknown, the suspect picked up a glass bottle and struck the victim on the side of his head causing serious injuries. The suspect was identified through an investigation and it was learned that the suspect and the victim did not know each other.

The victim was transported to the hospital and treated for his injuries at the time of the incident and continues to receive treatment as a result of this unprovoked attack.

In 2014 an arrest warrant was issued for Richard Dolson for assault causing bodily harm. During this time Richard refused to surrender to police and information was then received that Richard had fled from the province. Police now have reason to believe that Richard has returned back to the Hamilton area and are looking for the public's assistance in locating and apprehending him.

Anyone with information on Dolson is asked to contact Detective David Brady or Detective Christine Bezeau at 905-546-3873 or to call Crime Stoppers.
