Peel Regional Police gave an update on Thursday after a podcast host and real estate agent was attacked in the driveway of his home in Brampton, Ont. when he got into his Jeep.
Supt. Sean Gormley spoke Thursday and said the man, who was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, was "brutally attacked" and police believe it was a "targeted incident." He added there is no ongoing threat to public safety.
Video dated Aug. 4 shows a driveway outside of a home in a residential neighbourhood. It appears to show a resident walking towards his white Jeep Rubicon and entering the vehicle before three men run toward the vehicle, with one man smashing the window with an axe while another is wielding a machete.
The driver then gets out of the vehicle, attempting to fend off the three attackers. Eventually, the victim is pulled out of the vehicle by his foot and he pushes past the three men, only to get attacked by the suspects just behind the Jeep at the end of his driveway, slightly out of frame.
According to a spokesperson for Peel Regional Police, the case is currently under investigation with the suspects still at large, and the victim is in stable condition in hospital.
Gormley said that the injuries of the man attacked by three people using an axe and a machete on Aug. 4 were "quite serious." While he could not release the exact extent, Gormley said the injuries would be "life-altering" for the victim.
