Guelph police are investigating after a male suffered a broken orbital bone when he was assaulted by a stranger early Saturday morning.

Police were called to a downtown parkade approximately 1:35 a.m. An adult male reported he was walking past a licensed establishment on Macdonell Street when an unknown male challenged him to a fight. The complainant kept walking but was punched and fell to the ground.

The suspect, who fled westbound along Macdonell Street, was described as a white male in his early 20s with shaggy brown hair and wearing a dark jacket with flannel edging over a dark grey shirt with a red and white emblem on it. The victim was treated at hospital for his injuries.
