Male hurt in assault at Dayton Walgreens lot

A male was rushed to Miami Valley Hospital after he was found with head injuries from an apparent assault in a store parking lot early Sunday morning.

The victim was found with head lacerations in the parking lot of Walgreens, 4121 Hoover Ave. at approximately 2 a.m.

The injuries were not life-threatening and he's expected to recover, said Dayton Sgt. Justin Poe.

Poe said an anonymous caller reported a fight at the location. Shattered glass littered the pavement as police initially preserved the scene awaiting a report on the victim's condition.

Police were working to learn what happened and why. Investigators hope to review store surveillance to capture images of those involved.
