The incident happened around 6:45 PM Monday but Brown could not identify the person who perpetrated the act because there was no light on that stretch.
The victim explained that the attacker suddenly rushed at him from behind and struck his head with a stick.
The suspect then did a follow-up with another strike on the right eye and the mouth.
The victim who was saddened by the situation started running helter-skelter and screening for help after failing to put up a self-defence.
