A young man was allegedly assaulted outside a Whataburger in a Fort Worth suburb Friday night, according to officials.
Willow Park Mayor Teresa Palmer said in a Facebook post on Saturday that a group of people attacked the victim outside the town’s Whataburger around 9 p.m. Friday, leaving him with severe injuries.
Palmer said she has spoken to the victim’s mother, who is seeking assistance from anyone who might have witnessed the incident or has any information.
Anyone with video or other information is encouraged to contact Interim Chief of Police Quincy Hamilton.
“I am heartbroken that something so violent has happened in Willow Park,” Palmer wrote. “My thoughts are with this young man and his family. No parent should have to experience something like this.”
The Willow Park Police Department did not immediately respond to a request for more information. The victim’s condition is currently unknown.
