The Atascadero Police Department is asking for the public�s help in identifying three suspects who assaulted and robbed a 17-year old male resident Oct. 23 on the railroad tracks near Highway 41.

The victim was walking home around 9 p.m. when he was attacked by three unknown, possibly Caucasian, suspects. They punched the victim and then held him to the ground while repeatedly striking him with their fists and feet � leaving him with a broken jaw, multiple lacerations and bruises.

One of the three suspects had curly hair and the other two had shaved heads.

The suspects also took the victim�s wallet, hat and sunglasses, discarding the wallet at the crime scene after going through it.

The Atascadero Police Department is seeking any information regarding the identity of the suspects in this incident. The San Luis Obispo County Crime Stoppers organization is offering a $1,000 reward for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the suspects in this case. Anyone with information is asked to call the Atascadero Police Department at 461-5051 or anonymously at 549-7867.

Keep your comments civil. Don't insult one another or the subjects of our articles. If you think a comment violates our guidelines click the "report abuse" button. Responding to the comment will only encourage bad behavior.
Don't use profanities, vulgarities or hate speech. This is a general interest news site. Sometimes, there are children present. Don't say anything in a way you wouldn't want your own child to hear.
Do not attack other users; focus your comments on issues, not individuals.
Stay on topic. Only post comments relevant to the article at hand. If you want to discuss an issue with a specific user, click on his profile name and leave him a public message.
Do not copy and paste outside material into the comment box.
Don't repeat the same comment over and over. We heard you the first time.
Do not use the commenting system for advertising. That's spam and it isn't allowed.
Don't use all capital letters. That's akin to yelling and not appreciated by the audience.
