Toronto police have released photos of two men sought in a pair of violent assaults.

The first incident occurred July 30, when a man was beaten and robbed at a McDonald’s on Dundas St. W. Police say the 31-year-old victim meet his attackers there after posting a Craigslist ad to sell a pair of Nike Air Jordan shoes. The two men beat him with a metal baton before fleeing with the shoes.

In the second incident, a man was stabbed in the torso around 2:15 a.m. on Oct. 11 at a Petro Canada gas bar on Dixon Rd. in Mississauga. The victim was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries.

Police believe the same two men are responsible for both attacks.

The suspects are described as about 18 years old, with skinny builds and standing about 6’ tall.

The first one has a large lower lip and a distinct gap between his front upper teeth, while the second has short curly black hair.

One suspect was wearing a white “bucket” cap with a dark blue rim, a red t-shirt, and a pair of black or navy-blue Adidas sweatpants with three stripes running down the pant leg. The other was wearing a blue long-sleeved button-up shirt, a white t-shirt with a mostly-blue image, and light grey Roots sweatpants.
