Four suspects accused of assaulting a 71-year-old man in Santa Fe last Sunday remain at large, with police stating the incident began over a perceived look from the victim's grandson.

The altercation occurred on San Francisco Street, where the suspects reportedly approached a 29-year-old man and his grandfather. Police said the suspects did not like the way the younger man was looking at them, leading to a brief exchange of words followed by punches.
