Dearborn police are asking for the public's help identifying a suspect who assaulted a security guard at Walmart in Dearborn while attempting to steal several items.

The incident occurred on Aug. 29 at 5851 Mercury Drive. According to police, the suspect, a black male, assaulted an officer and fled the scene in a white Chevy Lumina with two other suspects. The vehicle was last seen northbound on the Southfield service drive heading to Detroit.

Walmart security cameras were able to capture the image of the suspect who assaulted the employee. The main suspect was wearing a Minnesota Vikings baseball hat and a rosary around his neck.
