MILTON, Ga. — An Alpharetta man reported to police March 25 that two men assaulted him at Target on Ga. 9.
The man said he had been on the phone while in the chips aisle when one of the two suspects started moving toward him aggressively with his arms slightly raised, according to the incident report.
The man told police he ran away to find an employee, and when he pointed out the suspects, they ran toward him, pushed him into a sunscreen display and began beating him.
The victim said he heard one say, “You were all talking something about my race,” according to the report.
The victim described both suspects as Black with shoulder-length dreads, standing at around 6-foot. One suspect was slim, wearing a gray sweater and trousers, and the other was heavier set, wearing a black hoodie, covered by a jean jacket, according to the report.
The employee also told police when the suspects walked away, they kept shouting, “I’ll beat up anyone in this building.”
Neither the victim or the employee could tell police where the suspects went after they left the store, the report says, but they were later identified as a 19-year-old and a 23-year-old, both from Tennessee.
