Toronto Police Issue Urgent Search for Suspects in Brutal August Assault, Release Surveillance Photos

Toronto Police have released photos of three individuals being sought in connection with a violent assault that caused bodily harm in Vaughan.

According to investigators, the incident occurred in the vicinity of Steeles Avenue West and Keele Street during the early hours of August 2.

The victim, a male, was parked in a lot south of the intersection when an unidentified male suspect approached him and initiated a verbal exchange. Subsequently, the initial suspect and two accomplices proceeded to physically assault the victim. Fortunately, bystanders in the vicinity intervened and halted the attack.
