Two female suspects have been identified by Lakewood police agents after they allegedly assaulted a man on the RTD Light Rail at the Wadsworth Station when he was unable to provide them with cigarettes. Lakewood PD issued an update Thursday afternoon saying both an 18-year-old and a teenager had been identified.
Lakewood police say at approximately 9:17 p.m. on Feb. 13, the suspects asked the man for cigarettes and when the victim replied, "No," one began to yell at him. That's when one of the suspects started punching the victim, while holding him down by his hair.
The second female reportedly stood by yelling racial slurs at the victim with the assault lasting for at least "five or six minutes," according to Lakewood PD.
The victim sustained serious injuries to his face along with some of his personal belongings being broken after the assault.
