Winnipeg police are searching for a suspect after a 34-year-old man was knocked unconscious near Bonnycastle Park. 

The incident happened earlier this year on April 19 at around 5 p.m.

Winnipeg police say the victim and suspect got into an argument after the suspect caused a disturbance outside the victim's home in the 0-99 block of Navy Way. When the victim came out to confront the suspect, he was immediately thrown to the ground, hitting his head and losing consciousness.

He was transported to hospital with a serious head injury and will likely have a lengthy recovery. 

Police continue to search for the suspect, who witnesses say is described as a tall white male, 25-20 years old, with shaggy brown hair and a short brown beard. At the time of the incident, he was wearing blue jeans, white Nike runners with a black swoosh, and a blue Jets Jersey with Byfuglien on the back. He was last seen running north towards Smith Street. 

Anyone who can identify the suspect or who may have more information on this incident is asked to contact the Major Crimes Unit at 204-986-6219, anonymously at Crime Stoppers (204-786-TIPS) or winnipegcrimestoppers.org.
