Lincoln Police are investigating after a man was shot in the face with a BB gun Wednesday night.
Police say just before 9:00 the victim spotted a suspicious vehicle in a parking lot near 70th and O Streets. As the man approached the vehicle the suspect shot him in the face with a BB gun. The suspect then reportedly got out of the vehicle holding two BB guns and fired off more rounds.
The victim fought back against his attacker, putting the suspect into a headlock until he dropped the BB guns. The suspect was then able to flee in his vehicle.
Authorities say the victim was hit twice, once in the torso and once in the face, the latter round getting lodged above his eyebrow. He was treated for non-life threatening injuries.
A witness was able to identify the suspect but police say they had not made contact with him yet.
