One of the suspects is described as around 18 years old, native, and wearing a grey hoody with blood on the back. The other suspect was described as young, native, and wearing a dark jacket with navy blue sleeves.

The 21-year-old man they attacked was in the washroom at the downtown Tim Hortons when the two men came after him, according to a press release.

The suspects kicked and punched the victim, struck him repeatedly with an object, and even bit his hand as they went through his pockets and took his money.

The victim fought back, and was able to retrieve his money. He received lacerations to his head, and was transported to Health Sciences North, where he was treated and released.

Both of the suspects fled the area and were not located.
