MANCHESTER, Conn. — Two men are being sought after they allegedly assaulted a Fed Ex driver in Manchester on Thursday.
Lieutenant Ryan Shea confirmed the assault happened around 5 p.m. on Lydall Street, Thursday involving a FedEx delivery driver.
According to Shea, the driver had arrived at a house when two male suspects in their 20s, who he described as light skin black men, attacked the driver. The driver got into a scuffle with the unarmed suspect and was punched in the head.
According to witnesses the suspect grabbed the package and fled on foot.
Shea said the packages were ordered by one of the residents in the house and were stolen mainly as a "crime of opportunity."
The Fed Ex driver said the other suspect sped off in the direction the suspect ran.
The driver had minor injuries but refused medical treatment.
Police said that the involved car is believed to have been a grey Acura Sedan with a temporary registration plate.
