Regina police are investigating after a Dickie Dee's ice cream vendor was assaulted with a weapon Tuesday night.

It happened on the 1400 block of Cameron St. in the North Central area.

Police didn't provide the name of the business but Dickie Dee's Ice Cream reported the incident on its Facebook page.

"If you or anyone knows who attacked our rider today, please do us a favour and report it to the police," the post said.

"We are trying our best to keep our riders safe and I hope you guys can help us too! Any information about the incident that happened today would be very helpful. Thank you!"

Police got a call about a man being robbed and assaulted with a weapon at around 7:10 p.m. CST.

The victim, a 33-year-old man, was operating an ice cream vendor bicycle when two males approached, demanded he turn over his money and bicycle, and physically assaulted him.

The two suspects ran off when people came outside to assist the victim. They didn't get away with his money or bike.

EMS was called and the man was treated at the scene for injuries police described as non-life-threatening.

Police declined to say what kind of weapon was used.

They're asking anyone with information to contact the Regina Police Service at 306-777-6500 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
