Windsor police release suspect descriptions in 'targeted' machete attack
The alleged attack took place early Wednesday morning
An alleged attack on three people with a machete was a targeted incident, Windsor police said Thursday.
Police have released an image of the suspect vehicle, along with descriptions of the three suspects — including the alleged attacker, driver of a white van and of a passenger in the van.
The first suspect — said to be the attacker — is a tall and thin man, with a tanned complexion, who wore a face mask, according to authorities.
They say the second suspect is a white man around 60 years old with grey hair.
And the third suspect is described as a white woman with light blonde shoulder-length hair.
Officers responded to a report of an assault near Langlois Avenue and Wyandotte Street East around 3 a.m. Wednesday, where they found three people with injuries to their arms consistent with slash wounds.
Investigators said the victims were sitting on a public bench when a white van drove up and stopped, before a masked suspect allegedly left the vehicle and attacked them with a machete.
No further information was immediately available Thursday afternoon.
