Richland Township Police are asking for the public’s help with identifying a man who they say assaulted a 16-year-old boy who has special needs in the Walmart Supercenter on Rt. 309 Saturday.
In a post published on the department’s Crimewatch page Tuesday, police shared a store security photo of the man, who is seen wearing a face mask in it due to a state health order and Walmart entry requirements enacted during the coronavirus pandemic.
Police said the assault occurred at 12:01 p.m., when the unidentified man allegedly struck the boy in the face.
Afterward, police said the man immediately fled the store and left the area in a white SUV of unknown make and model.
Anyone with information related to the investigation is asked to contact Richland Township Police Ofc. Michael Colahan at
