Brock University staff organized supports for concerned students on Thursday evening, March 21, after an isolated incident in a campus residence resulted in three students being treated for non-life threatening injuries.<\/p>\n
At approximately 8 p.m., Niagara Regional Police responded to the incident in Village Residence. Two students had received knife wounds and one was injured in a struggle with one of the assailants. Police said they believe this was a targeted attack. All three victims were treated in hospital and later released.<\/p>\n
The assailants fled campus shortly after the incident. Campus was deemed to be free of any threat and there was never a campus lockdown.<\/p>\n
While Campus Security Services assisted NRP, the University\u2019s Student Life staff set up a support centre in nearby Lowenberger Residence, and students were also sent access information for the 24-hour counselling line that is available to the Brock community.<\/p>\n
Several residence students were relocated into temporary accommodations after police sealed off several rooms to conduct their investigation.<\/p>\n
Police are searching for two suspects in relation to this incident. The first is described as\u00a0male, slim build in his 20s, possibly of East Indian descent. He was wearing a dark toque, a dark mask covering the lower portion of his face and dark-coloured clothing. The second suspect is also described as male, slim build, in his 20s and possibly of East Indian descent. He was wearing\u00a0light-coloured clothing and possibly grey pants.<\/p>\n
Police are continuing to investigate. Anyone with information is asked to phone NRP at 905-688-4111 x9495.<\/p>\n
Further updates will be provided as they become available.<\/p>\n
