A 61-year-old Key West liveaboard and his 21-year-old
daughter were reportedly both struck in the head by a suspect(s) wielding bats
on Saturday.
There were no arrests as of Monday.
Deputy Michael Watkins went to the 230 block of Margaret
Street in Key west at 7:30 p.m. and met with a Key West Police Sergeant who
told him the male was already en route to Lower Keys Medical Center on Stock
Island with a large lump on the side of his head. The police officer said there
was some sort of altercation on or near Wisteria Island.
The 21-year-old female had a large lump on the back of her
head. She was still on scene and told Deputy Watkins she and other victim were
on a boat anchored northwest of Wisteria Island when they saw a group of about
20 college-aged people drinking on Wisteria Island. They had three center
console boats. She stated she and her father approached the group and
confronted them about social distancing due to the COVID-19 virus and to keep
the noise down.
The victim said the suspect(s), it was unclear how many,
then struck her and her father in the head with a bat.
A witness did not see the battery, but saw three center
console boats leave the area and saw the two victims on the beach of Wisteria
Island. He then went over to assist them.
The two victims were treated and released at Lower Keys
Medical Center.
