Central Bucks Regional Police are attempting to identify a third individual connected to the aggravated assault on a police officer that occurred last month in Doylestown Borough, in which an Army platoon leader was charged.
Police said the man is wanted for questioning in the Dec. 27, 2025 incident on N. Main St.
The suspect is a Caucasian male with brown hair, wearing a black hoodie and sneakers with a zig-zag design on the side, police said.
Call police at 215-345-4143 with any information on the suspect or the incident.
An active U.S. Army platoon leader from Doylestown was charged in the violent assault on the officer, who was attempting to break up a street fight in the early morning hours. Investigators are attempting to locate a second suspect.
Thomas Angel Rowe V, 21, was charged with two felony counts of aggravated assault, misdemeanor counts of assault, resisting arrest, and two disorderly conduct charges, and summary counts of harassment and public drunkenness, according to court records.
According to police, officers were dispatched around 12:13 a.m. to a reported fight in progress between two males on North Main Street in Doylestown Borough. When an officer arrived and attempted to separate the individuals, one unidentified male was pushed away toward the corner of a building. At that point, police said, Rowe attacked the officer from behind, striking him in the head.
Police alleged the officer grabbed Rowe by the waist and both fell to the ground, where Rowe ignored repeated commands to stop fighting. Authorities said Rowe punched the officer several times in the head and slammed the officer’s head into the icy pavement.
Police further alleged Rowe continued resisting and bit the officer on the arm as members of a crowd yelled that he was fighting a police officer and needed to stop.
Investigators said multiple bystanders recorded the attack on their cell phones but did not attempt to intervene or render aid to the officer.
Rowe allegedly continued resisting arrest and ignored commands from additional officers who arrived to assist. He was eventually taken into custody and identified as an active platoon leader in the U.S. Army, police said.
Rowe is free on 10 percent of $75,000 cash bail, according to court records. A preliminary hearing is set for Jan. 26 before Magisterial District Judge Mark Douple. Another individual involved in the incident was cited for summary offenses and released at the scene.
Police said the other individual involved in the incident is still being sought. Investigators are requesting the public’s help identifying a white male wearing a plaid shirt who is wanted for questioning, police said.
Police also asked bystanders who recorded the incident to submit any cell phone video, noting tips and video submissions may be made anonymously.
All suspects and defendants are innocent until proven guilty. This story was compiled using public court records.
