An arrest warrant has been issued for a 45-year-old member of the Hells Angels in Winnipeg after an assault Monday night at Concordia Avenue and Molson Street.

A 14-year-old boy and a 27-year-old man were riding their bicycles in the area when they were confronted by a man in a car, police said Friday in a release.

POLICE HANDOUT Rodney Patrick Sweeney

The man, who was not known to the cyclists, followed them in his car for a short distance, then left his vehicle and attacked the cyclists with a blunt weapon.

Both victims fled the area and contacted police. They were brought to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Rodney Patrick Sweeney, 45, has been identified as a suspect.

Sweeney has a long history with the Hells Angels. His brother is president of the Manitoba chapter of the biker gang, and Rod Sweeney was shot several times in 2001 in a dispute with a rival biker.

Sweeney is described as a white man, about 6'2" tall and weighing about 230 pounds with a medium build. He has short brown hair, blue eyes, and wears a goatee.

Police ask the public not to approach Sweeney, warning he is "known to carry weapons."

Instead, police are asking the public to call the Winnipeg Police Organized Crime Unit at 204-986-3916 or CrimeStoppers at 204-786-TIPS (8477) if they have information on Sweeney's whereabouts.
