SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO AM) - A Sioux Falls man suffered a puncture wound to his hip while fighting a man that he bumped into as he left the Cherry Rock Park restroom Wednesday night.
Officer Sam Clemens says police went to the hospital but the 21-year-old victim did not want to pursue the case. He says the victim gave a vague description of his assailant but he did not want police to look into the case anymore.
Clemens says if a victim is reluctant to work with police on an assault, detectives are hard pressed to continue investigating. Clemen says sometimes a hospital bill can change a victim's mind about pressing the case. There could be compensation from the attackert.
Officers will contact the victim to see if he’s changed his mind.
