Oakdale police seek suspect in rock-throwing assault outside restaurant and bar

Oakdale police are asking the public’s help in locating a woman suspected of assaulting a man with a rock after an argument late Saturday or early Sunday in the parking lot behind the Battered Beaver restaurant and bar.

The victim’s sister told The Bee that the impact split his forehead, requiring five stitches.

Anyone with information on the case is asked to call the Oakdale Police Department at 209-847-2231.
