Saskatoon police are investigating a Molotov cocktail attack that took place early Sunday morning outside a popular 8th Street nightclub.

Police were called to the 2400 block of 8th Street East at approximately 3 a.m. following a disturbance inside Beily's Ultralounge.

Police said three men were asked by staff to leave the lounge. The men were escorted out. When they reached their vehicle, the men used pepper spray and a knife to assault employees before fleeing the scene, police said. The bar employees suffered minor injuries.

Men return to scene of assault

About an hour later, witnesses said they saw and heard a window being smashed. They discovered two undetonated Molotov cocktails -- one made from a beer bottle and the other fabricated from a liquor bottle -- outside the building. Witnesses said the Molotov cocktails were thrown from the same white car the three men got into earlier.

Two suspects are described as black males, 25 years old, six-foot in height and between 180-200 pounds. One man had a goatee and short hair. The other had dreadlocks and was wearing a baseball cap. The third man was described as being of East Indian descent, between five-foot-eight and five-foot-10, and between 200-220 pounds.

The vehicle was later located. Police continue to search for the suspects.

Police ask that anyone with information call 975-8300, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
