A visiting Illinois resident was assaulted Saturday afternoon after requesting a picture with a supposed television personality, according to a police report.
Around 3 p.m. the victim, a 21-year-old male from Winnetka, Ill., located a Madison police officer after a man hit him in the face with a napkin holder along the 500 block of North Lake Street, the report said.
According to the victim, he spotted a man in a bar that resembled someone from a television show. He said he wanted to have his picture taken with the man, but the man refused.
The victim then said he was hit with the napkin holder after he left the bar. Another man then punched him several times in the head. The assault left him with a cut below his eye.
The suspect is described as a white male, about 140 lbs. and 5'9"" in stature. He is said to be wearing a black hooded sweatshirt with a red Chicago Bulls jersey over it. He was also wearing a black skullcap, the report said.
Police did not locate the suspect and do not know if he is actually on a TV show.
