The victim, a college-age Clallam County resident who asked police not to identify him publicly, was treated and released at Olympic Medical Center for contusions and abrasions, including a welt on the left side of his face, police said. “Our primary focus in a case like this is to look out for the interests of the victim,” Smith said. “He did nothing wrong.” The victim said he was walking from a bar to a friend’s house when about six males and females who appeared to be high-schoolers got out of three vehicles at West Ninth and Cedar streets between the Eighth Street bridges and confronted him, Officer Harold Balderson said in a written report of the incident. “He was walking along Cedar Street minding his own business, and these people arrived where he was,” Sgt.
