Four teenagers have been charged in connection with a violent swarming attack in Brampton and police are seeking several others.
Two of the victims sustained multiple stab wounds, while the third was beaten unconscious, likely with a pipe, police say, in the Wednesday afternoon attack on Juniper Cres. near Chinguacousy Secondary School.
A group of 10 to 15 people attacked a group of four people, said Peel Detective Stephen Rowe. The two groups had agreed to meet to settle a dispute, he said.
"It appears the smaller group didn't expect such large numbers in the other group," Rowe said.
"But something happened to escalate it. But so far we haven't determined what it was all about."
Four of the alleged attackers were arrested late Wednesday. Police believe some of those involved likely attend the nearby high school, but the incident wasn't school-related, they say.
Investigators are still trying to determine whether the teens belong to any gangs.
A fourth person in the victims' group managed to escape without being injured, police said. The injured, two in their teens and one in his 20s, remain at Brampton Memorial Hospital in serious condition with non-life-threatening injuries.
Some of the attackers showed up wearing dark hats and clothing and had scarves covering their faces, police say.
"Both groups knew each other, so we're not sure why some didn't want the others to know who they were," Rowe said.
Four boyshave been charged with numerous offences ranging from aggravated assault to assault with a weapon. They cannot be identified under federal law.
Anyone with information is asked to call Peel police at 905-453-2121, ext. 2133.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
