Three people have been injured after a machete attack in Windsor.
Around 3 a.m. officers responded to a report about an assault with a weapon in the area of Wyandotte Street East and Langlois Avenue.
At the scene, officers found three victims with injuries to their arms consistent with slash wounds.
The three victims – two adult females and one adult male – were taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Investigators with the Major Crimes Unit learned the victims were reportedly sitting on a public bench when a white van drove up and stopped near them.
A masked suspect then exited the van and attacked the victims with a machete.
The suspect then returned to the van, which was occupied by two other individuals, and fled the scene.
The investigation is still in its early stages and more information will be released as it becomes available.
Anyone who was in the area at the time or who has a dashcam or residential or business video that can assist with the investigation is asked to contact the Major Crimes Unit at 519-255-6700, ext. 4830.
