Police are seeking four men who allegedly attacked a man attempting to flag down a cab on the 600 block of University Avenue Saturday morning.
Madison Police Department Lt. Stephanie Bradley Wilson said the male victim was hailing a cab when four black males who appeared to be approximately 20 years old approached him outside of the Fluno Center.
The four suspects hit and kicked the victim several times after speaking with him, according to Wilson.
Although police have not made arrests, Ald. Mike Verveer, District 4, said he is optimistic the suspects can be identified from surveillance camera footage.
Verveer said the amount of incidents occurring on the 600 block of University Avenue is alarming and frustrating, especially because the Downtown Safety Initiative provides for more officers in this area.
“It is difficult to comprehend how this sort of violence continues particularly given the location and the amount of extra police that we are providing in that area,” Verveer said.
