APD Searching For Downtown Assault Suspects

Updated: Wednesday, October 22 2014, 05:51 PM CDT

Police are searching for two men they say sexually assaulted a woman and beat her male companion in Downtown Austin earlier this month.

It happened on Saturday, October 11, at around 2:35 a.m. near the intersection of 6th Street and Lavaca Street.

Investigators say the couple were walking north on Lavaca Street when two men passed them. That's when one of the men reached out and grabbed the female victim.

Police say the male victim tried to protect the woman but the men began to assault him. The victims fell to the ground and one of the men continued to beat the man while the other assaulted the woman.

Investigators say the suspects stopped and casually walked away when witnesses yelled at them. 

Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to call the Region 1 Detectives at 512-974-9207, the Sex Crimes Tip Line at 512-974-5095 or the Capital Area Crime Stoppers Program at 512-472-TIPS or text "Tip 103" your message to CRIMES.
