A man who just said "no" to a couple of weed dealers was assaulted by them near Buena Vista Park on Friday, police said.

They offered to sell weed to the victim, but he turned them down, saying he did not like marijuana. This obviously offended the pot pushers, so they proceeded to punch and kick the victim several times before fleeing on foot in an unknown direction, police said.
