Atlanta police sought the public’s help Tuesday in finding a suspect who allegedly attacked and robbed a Good Samaritan in north Atlanta on Monday.
Police said Kevin Frey was stabbed Monday after he came to the aid of a man yelling for help in the 500 block of Centennial Olympic Parkway, near the Georgia Tech campus.
When Frey reached a “dark area under a tree,” he was confronted by an unknown man who hit him on the side of his head with a medium sized rock, according to police spokesman Officer John Chafee.
Frey said he turned to run and felt a sharp pain in his back, which caused him to lose consciousness. After coming to, the stabbing victim told police he flagged down a female, who called police.
Chafee said Frey, who was staying at a homeless shelter on Mills Street south of the area where he was attacked, was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital, where he was treated.
Anyone with information on the attack can call Crime Stoppers at 404-577-8477.
