Calgary police are out with the descriptions of two men accused of assaulting a teen who was learning to drive in the northeast earlier this month, and are hoping the public can help.
Police say the incident happened on Tuesday, July 15, around 9:30 p.m., on Madigan Drive NE.
A mother was teaching her 17-year-old son to park in an SUV in the area when a white pickup truck pulled up aggressively behind them.
The driver of the truck drove around their vehicle, pulled a U-turn, and parked next to the SUV, police explain.
Two men got out of the truck and tried to open the doors of the SUV.
At this point, the teen got out of the vehicle to protect his mom and was then assaulted with a weapon by the suspects.
His mom called police and the suspects fled the scene, police say.
The teen was seriously hurt and taken to hospital by paramedics. He has since been released.
Investigators have collected CCTV footage from the area that captures the alleged suspects and their vehicle.
The first man is described as having a light complexion, 5’8″ to six feet tall, and was wearing a navy T-shirt, black pants, and may have had a face mask on.
The second man is described as having a light complexion, 5’8″ to six feet tall, with short, dark hair and possible facial hair. He was wearing a black hat, a white T-shirt and black pants.
The white pickup truck is believed to have been a 1999 to 2007 white Chevrolet Silverado, with an object extending out of the box, police add.
Police also believe there may have been additional witnesses travelling in a white Ford Fusion, who may have filmed the assault.
Investigators are asking those individuals to contact police.
