Victim and suspects sought in reported assault

A violent group assault on an individual in June reported by a witness has generated new leads and investigators are hoping to speak to anyone who was involved.

Around 12:40 a.m., on Sunday, June 2, 2024, a security guard called police to report a group of people had surrounded a man and hit him with objects that he believed were chains and bats in the middle of Macleod Trail S.E., between Seventh Avenue and Sixth Avenue S.E. The group fled before officers arrived. The victim made his way toward the City Hall LRT platform and has not come forward to police since the incident.

One suspect was located by police in the area. They were arrested and later released pending further investigation.

Since then, investigators have been reviewing hours of CCTV in hopes of identifying and locating the victim, as well as those who were involved in the assault. Photos of several of the involved individuals are being released in hopes of generating information about their identities and involvements.
