Two men were taken to hospital with serious head injuries after what police are describing as a “violent assault” at the border of Peel and Halton regions early Wednesday morning.
Police were called for reports of a fight near Winston Churchill Boulevard and Steeles Avenue shortly after midnight.
According to preliminary reports, a “number of vehicles were involved in the targeted assault,” a Halton police news release said. Suspect vehicles surrounded another vehicle that was carrying three men, the release said.
Then, “a number of males” allegedly attacked the three men with baseball bats.
