FIELDALE, Va. (rbs news now) — Authorities are investigating a severe assault that left a man with serious injuries Monday morning at an apartment complex in Fieldale.

Lt. Mitchell Turner with the Henry County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Division said deputies were called to the complex on Brook Court at about 5:45 a.m. after receiving a report of an assault.

Patrol deputies who responded found a male victim with severe head trauma at one of the apartments, Turner said.

The victim was airlifted from the scene because of the severity of his injuries.

“This would not be your run-of-the-mill fist fight,” Turner said. “This is pretty severe.”

The victim’s condition was unknown as of Monday afternoon, Turner said, while investigators continued processing the crime scene.

The Virginia State Police is assisting the sheriff’s office with the investigation, with several investigators at the scene.

Turner said they do not currently have any known suspects and are following up on multiple leads.

Investigators are asking the public to provide any information that could help identify a suspect or clarify what happened.

Authorities also are searching for a silver Toyota Camry with Delaware license plates.

The vehicle’s license plate number is 636385, according to Turner.

Anyone who sees the vehicle or has information about the assault is asked to contact the Henry County Sheriff’s Office at 276-638-8751.

The investigation remains ongoing.
