That is better than what I said. My apologies. "hit him in the face" is correct. Very good!

I don't understand
I would say culprit instead of suspect, as the suspect just refers to the person who is being suspected of having done it, while culprit refers to the actual person who did it.
Unless of course you mean a suspect to a different crime (which was being investigated at the time of this incident) did that. Then it'd be okay to use suspect.
