Police searching for suspect after attack at Atlanta Krispy Kreme leaves man in coma

Atlanta police are asking the public for help identifying a man investigators say attacked another person and left them in a coma at a Krispy Kreme.

The Atlanta Police Department tells CBS News Atlanta that officers were called to the doughnut shop on the 600 block of Evans Street SW around 3:50 a.m. on July 21.

At the scene, officers found a man who had suffered multiple injuries. He was rushed to Grady Memorial Hospital and still remains unconscious a week later.

Investigators believe the victim was attacked by a man in what they called an "unprovoked assault."

Authorities have shared surveillance footage of a man believed to be a suspect in the attack in the hopes that someone can identify him.
