Police believe the same man may have been responsible for two assaults and a theft on South Park Street Friday.
A 45-year-old man told police he approached a group of men on South Park Street when one of the men stole the wallet and cell phone from his pocket. He asked for his items back, but a suspect punched him in the head and he lost consciousness.
When he regained consciousness he was met with another punch to the head as he asked a second time for his property.
Later in the day police said a man fitting the suspect's description stole candy from a Clark gas station on South Park Street and got on a Madison Metro bus.
A man with the same description got off of the bus by the intersection of Erin Street and South Park Street, according to the police report, and punched a 40-year-old man waiting at the bus stop.
Witnesses described the male suspect as being black, 20-30 years old and bald with a heavy build. At the time the suspect was wearing a red hooded sweatshirt and dark jeans.
