Things got a little rowdy outside of Club Risque in South Philadelphia not long ago, and now the Philadelphia Police Department is asking for the public’s help to find the suspect in an aggravated assault that left one victim on the ground unconscious.

According to police, the guy seen in this surveillance footage was leaving the popular Philadelphia strip club on Columbus Boulevard at 3 a.m. on June 28th.

Some heated words of an unknown nature were exchanged between the khakied gent and a couple of other patrons from the club while he was waiting for a taxi. Then the suspect allegedly punched two of the men.

One of the victims wound up losing consciousness, and it was then that some of the other guys standing nearby decided to step in and break it up, according to police.

Bouncers from Club Risque tried to detain the suspect, but he managed to flee in a taxi. Police describe him as follows: “White male, mid to late 20 years-of-age, over 6’0″, short brown hair, muscular build, wearing a black polo shirt, and khaki pants.”

Police ask anyone with information to call the South Detective Division at 215-686-3013. The full surveillance video released by police appears below.
