The Salisbury Police Department confirmed Daniel Michael, 28, of Milford Drive, received significant cuts in an attempted robbery Monday and was again attacked Tuesday night at a car wash by a different assailant.
Michael told Salisbury Police a black male demanded money from him while he was working on his car Monday. The two scuffled and Michael punched the would-be thief. The suspect fell to the ground and fled. Michael was cut multiple times. He went to the hospital, where he was treated and released.
