Prince George, B.C.- A 38 year old man is in Prince George Regional Hospital recovering from injuries sustained when he was beaten with a baseball bat by at least 4 assailants.

RCMP say they got a call late yesterday afternoon about an assault, involving several males,  in progress at a home in the 1400 block of Ford Avenue. Witnesses reported suspects fled in two vehicles. One of the vehicles is said to be a black Honda Accord with B.C. Plates, and the other is a green Ford Expedition SUV with Alberta plates.

When police arrived on the scene there was no one home, but a male victim was found a short time later near the intersection of Pearson Avenue and Upland Street. He was taken to hospital.

Police are hoping anyone with information on this investigation will contact them at 250-561-3300.
