Kent police are asking for help in identifying a man believed to have assaulted a 43-year-old man outside a sports bar in November.

The victim suffered a head injury and could not provide details about what happened. Witnesses told police the man was knocked to the ground and kicked in the head by an unidentified man seen in surveillance footage.

Officers were called to the After 5 Sports Bar in the 2100 block of 108th Avenue Southeast to investigate the assault.

Investigators said they’ve worked on the case for months but are out of leads and need tips from the public.

Anyone with information can call the Kent Police Department’s tip line at 253-856-5808.
