York Regional Police have released shocking video of a violent assault last summer in Vaughan in an effort to catch the two thugs.

Police on Monday said they were called around 1 p.m. on Aug. 20, 2018 to a tire shop on Hanlan Rd., in the Steeles Ave. W. and Weston Rd. area., for an assault in progress. Officers found two victims — one suffering from serious injuries from which they say he may not fully recover.

Police say two men entered the shop looking to speak to an employee. Shortly after, the thugs assaulted one staffer, who fled out the front door. The two men then attacked a second victim, punching and kicking him multiple times — even throwing a tire at his head.

The pair fled on foot south on Scholes Rd. towards Steeles Ave.

The first wanted man is described as black, 5-foot-7 with a medium build and wearing a black hoodie and black bandanna.

The second man is black and 6-foot-1 with a thin build. He was wearing a blue hoodie, blue bandanna and sunglasses.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police.
