Assault

Around 8:05am on Saturday, Police received a report of an assault at a Princeton Lane, Warwick residence. Officers arrived on the scene a short time later and spoke with the parents of the victim, a 31 year old Warwick man. It appears that two men known to the victim and his family attended their residence and asked to speak with the 31 year old man. He went outside and met with the two men when a struggle ensued, with the suspects using bladed articles to attack the victim. The victim managed to get away from his assailants and the suspects then made good their escape in the car they arrived in. The victim was taken to KEMH for treatment of superficial wounds to his torso and an injury to his left index finger. Both suspects turned themselves in at the Somerset Police Station two hours later where they were arrested and detained. The suspects’ vehicle was subsequently impounded by Police. Inquiries into this incident are underway by the Somerset Criminal Investigation Unit.
