Police have released images of three outstanding suspects who allegedly assaulted a male in a parking lot in North York last month.

The incident happened on Aug. 2 in the York University Heights neighbourhood, near Steeles Avenue West and Keele Street.

Toronto police say they were called to that area just before 2:30 for reports of an assault that had just occurred.

Investigators say a male was parked in a parking lot south of the intersection when an unknown male approached and engaged him in a “verbal interaction.”

The first male along with two other unknown males then allegedly started assaulting the victim.

Police said witnesses in the area intervened and stopped the assault.

All of the suspects left the area in an unknown direction.

The victim, meanwhile, was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The first suspect is described as a male with short brown hair and a beard. He was last seen wearing a silver or gold necklace with a chain, a black t-shirt, white or light grey jeans, and a grey and black crossbody bag.

The second suspect is also a male with short brown hair and a beard, and a tattoo covering his right forearm. He was last seen wearing a grey baseball cap, a grey short sleeve button-up shirt that was unbuttoned with a black t-shirt underneath, and dark blue or black pants..

The third is a male with curly brown hair and goatee, and a full sleeve tattoo on left arm and tattoos on his right forearm and right bicep. He was last seen wearing a black t-shirt and grey pants.

This investigation is ongoing and anyone with further information is asked to contact police at 416-808-3100 or Crime Stoppers anonymously.
