Authorities are trying to identify a man who was assaulted while camping with his family in Nevada in August, park rangers said.
The unidentified man was camping with his family on Aug. 28 “near the shoreline of Lake Mohave’s Nelson’s Landing area” when a group of people “violently assaulted him,” according to a news release by the National Park Service.
Finding the victim might help with the investigation of other similar incidents, the news release said.
The injuries from the attack would’ve required medical attention, officials said.
