Windsor police seek three in assault involving bear mace

Windsor police are asking the public for help in identifying three people connected to a violent altercation last week.

Officers were called on Wednesday, September 18, at around 5:30 p.m., to Tecumseh Road East and Gladstone Avenue for a report of a fight.

A second victim was also sprayed with the substance. Both suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

The Major Crimes Unit obtained surveillance images of the three suspects and has asked residents to take a look.

The first is described as a White male, 18 to 20 years old, about 5' 9”, with a slender build. He was wearing a red shirt, red pants, white shoes, and a multi-coloured hat. He was riding a black scooter.

The second suspect is a White male, 18–20 years old, about 5' 9”, with a slender build. He was wearing a blue shirt and black tracksuit pants.

The third suspect is a White male, 18–20 years old, about 5'9” tall, with a slender build. He was wearing a black shirt, black jeans, and a black checkered head cap.

All three are wanted for assault with a weapon, administering a noxious substance with the intent to endanger life, and uttering death threats.
