On 05/17/2023 at approximately 11:54 A.M., Petaluma officers responded to a report of a Petaluma man being struck a number of times with a baseball bat by another male subject.

He reported he had been sitting on a park bench at Steamer landing, when a male subject approached him and began to repeatedly hit him with a baseball bat.
After being hit a number of times, the suspect fled the area on foot and the victim called 9-1-1. The victim refused treatment on scene and suffered only minor injuries.
