The incident happened around 1:18 p.m. Friday on the 400 block of Jacksonville Road in Hatboro.

The suspect could be seen on surveillance camera pointing a gun at someone. He was wearing a jacket, joggers, a baseball cap and a white face mask.

The man fled the scene in a silver Ford Escape, police say.

"We had several individuals engaging in a fight at that location and a subsequent video that we've obtained of the incident shows a male subject wear a mask pointing a handgun at somebody and ultimately striking the individual in the face with the handgun," said James Gardner, Hatboro Chief of Police
