Police say David Jones, 57, was leaving the laundry when he was suddenly attacked from behind.  The suspect ran up behind Jones with a stick and started hitting him without saying a word.

Jones was able to fight the man off.  The suspect jumped into a small, red, four door car and fled.

Police describe the suspect as a man in his 40s or 50s wearing a long black jacket, blue jeans and work boots.  He was also wearing glasses, had a goatee and was balding.

Jones was treated at the hospital for his injuries.
