WHATCOM COUNTY, Wash. — On October 22, deputies responded to the 4900 block of Aldrich Rd for a report of a motor vehicle theft involving an assault.

As previously reported by Whatcom News, the victim arranged to meet a man at a Meridian Street retail store to look at a car the victim was selling.

While they were test-driving the car, the man pulled the vehicle over and told the victim to get out of the car. The man punched the victim in the head and continued punching the victim. A woman pulled up and began hitting and kicking the victim. The victim said one of the suspects put their hands around the victim’s throat and restricted the victim’s airway.
