The Summit County Sheriff’s Office is searching for three people who were allegedly involved in an assault in the Snyderville Basin last week.
The department received a report of three men attacking a man and a woman in the Canyons Village area on Friday. The man had significant injuries to his face, and the woman’s face also appeared red and sore after the attack.
The victims said the attackers were strangers and identified the group as two white men and one Polynesian man. They did not know their attackers’ names or license plate information.
The altercation reportedly started when the three strangers began making derogatory remarks toward the man and woman as they were walking back to their car after a concert. It then turned physical.
The Sheriff’s Office said no suspects have been arrested, and deputies have not located the cars despite receiving multiple vehicle descriptions throughout the investigation.
The Sheriff’s Office responded to multiple other calls between Monday, Aug. 24, and Sunday, Aug. 30, including suspected DUIs, mail theft and medical emergencies.
