Peel police say there is no plan to pursue a criminal investigation after what appears to be a “consented fight” near Sheridan College’s Brampton campus was caught on video.

The incident appears to have occurred at the College Plaza, at the corner of McLaughlin Road South and Steeles Avenue West. The video, posted to a Facebook page called “College plaza confessions” on Sunday, Sept. 17, shows two men engaged in fisticuffs and ending with one man appearing to hold the other down.

The plaza is a popular hangout for Sheridan College students who attend school across the street.

Peel Const. Harinder Sohi said while the service doesn’t condone these fights because they could lead to serious injury or even death, the force doesn’t plan to pursue criminal charges as it appears to be a “consented fight” between two people.

If, Sohi said, one of the people involved was jumped or attacked or filed a complaint that he had been injured, police would launch an investigation.

Police could also launch an investigation if hospital staff called to report the incident.

It’s not known if either of the men were hospitalized or needed medical attention.

Had police been called to the incident as it was unfolding, Sohi said, police would have responded and dealt with the matter appropriately.

Assaults in Peel have gone up, with the latest statistics showing there were 4,269 assault calls in Mississauga and Brampton last year, up nine per cent from the 3,869 calls in 2015.
