Waite Park police want men who hit Good Samaritan

Police in central Minnesota are looking for two men who assaulted a Good Samaritan.

Waite Park Police Chief Dave Bentrud says a motorist stopped to help two men who were trying to change a tire Thursday night at Stearns County roads 137 and 6.

Bentrud says it appears the victim was struck in the head with a tire iron. Cash and personal items were stolen from him.

The man was later found unconscious and lying in a ditch by others passing by. His injuries were not life threatening.
