Police have released surveillance video of one of the suspects fleeing the scene of the attack.
At around 6:20 pm on November 15, three people were smoking marijuana in the vestibule of a building at 338 15th Street. When the 61-year-old building manager tried to remove them, they pounced.
One of the weed heads picked up a chair and struck the super in the head.
The group then ran away from the building. But not before one of them was caught on a nearby surveillance camera as she walked past a local fruit stand and several stores.
The suspect was last seen wearing a canary yellow hoodie underneath a beige coat.
The victim was seriously injured and was rushed by EMS to Beth Israel Hospital which is around the corner from the assault site. The super is listed in stable condition.
The assault took place across the street from High School for Health Professions and Human Services near Study Town.
