“We are looking for the person or persons who attacked Parker. We actually called Parker and asked him to identify but he failed to do so because the people were so many at the time of the incidence.
“The security set up have begun a search for the culprits and I can assure you that when the suspects are found, we will take action accordingly,” he assured.
