In the first attack, a man named Keenan Moore had just left the vestibule of a Coast Capital Savings on West Broadway and was walking along the sidewalk when Mazerolle approached him from behind and using a large butcher knife, stabbed him on the top of his head.

Moore, who was employed with a courier company, put his hands up to defend himself and Mazerolle stabbed him in the hand. The victim managed to get away from Mazerolle, who headed east along West Broadway.

The second attack saw Mazerolle approach David Allardice from behind as he was walking along Quebec Street. Allardice heard Mazerolle and despite trying to move out of the way, was stabbed on the top of the head and received an abrasion on the neck.
