Sioux Falls Police Information Officer Sam Clemens says authorities are trying to find three individuals wanted in connection with an assault.

"We had a group of people inside an apartment and and another group that left and told them they were not welcome there. They then left and ended up at the Happy Rest Motel in the north east part of Sioux Falls," explained Clemens. "As they pulled in, they noticed the people that left the apartment had followed them. As soon as they parked, the people in the vehicle behind them grabbed bats and different objects and started beating the car and damaging it."

When the victim got out of his car, Clemens says  he was struck in the head.

"The suspects then took off. The victim went  to the hospital to get some treatment for his head wound. At this point, we don't really have any ideas who these guys were or why they targeted the victim or the car."

Clemens says police are searching for three black men last seen in a Silver Impala.
