Shawano County authorities are seeking the public’s help in locating a suspect believed to have been involved in an assault in Cecil on Saturday.
Sheriff’s deputies were called out to the assault complaint about 4 p.m.
A man sustained substantial injuries as a result of the assault, which appeared to stem from a possible road rage incident that occurred a short time before the altercation, according to the sheriff’s department.
Witnesses reported seeing a white Mercedes leaving the village eastbound on Freeborn Street.
They reported seeing a male driver in his 40s, 5-foot-10, muscular, combed-back hair, clean shaven and wearing a bright blue shirt with a possible tear. There was a female passenger in the vehicle. She was likely a witness to the altercation, the sheriff’s department said.
The male and female remain unidentified at this time.
The vehicle was seen in the area of White Clay Lake a short time after the altercation.
The driver might have an injury in the area of his left eye as a result of the incident.
Anyone that was in the area at the time of the incident and has information that would assist with identifying the vehicle or suspect is encouraged to call the sheriff’s office at 715-526-3111.
