Original story
Brian Cooper, 22, is wanted by Greater Sudbury Police Service on charges of aggravated assault and weapons dangers.
Police allege that Cooper was involved in a physical altercation Dec. 31 at about 10:30 p.m. at a home on Bloor Street. A 21-year-old suspect has been arrested after allegedly striking a 23-year-old man repeatedly, resulting in injuries to the victim's eye, nose and forehead.
When another man attempted to help the victim, he was stabbed, allegedly by Cooper and the second suspect. The victim sustained stab wounds to the back and suffered a punctured lung.
The altercation then spilled out into a nearby laneway, where another man was allegedly attacked by Cooper with a knife. This victim sustained cuts to his hands and neck.
All of the persons involved in this altercation are known to each other, said police. None of the injured men sustained life-threatening injuries. Only the male with the punctured lung attended the hospital for medical treatment.
The first suspect was arrested Jan. 4 and remains in custody having been charged with assault causing bodily harm, aggravated assault, weapons dangerous and breach of probation.
Cooper is described as being of Aboriginal descent, 6-2, 180 lbs, with a pock-marked complexion, black hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a red bandana and a red and white hoodie-style sweatshirt.
Greater Sudbury Police service is seeking assistance from the public in locating Cooper. Members of the public are urged not to approach Cooper, but to call police or Crime Stoppers if they know where he is located.
The police are also urging the Good Samaritan who helped one of the victims by driving him to the hospital to come forward and provide a statement.
