The two men, ages 54 and 57, were in uniform and off-duty at the time of the incident, which happened around 5 a.m. Saturday in the 600 block of Brandon Avenue, the Winnipeg Police Service said Sunday. The location police identified is near the Winnipeg Transit garages in Fort Rouge, off Osborne Street. Police spokesman Const. Claude Chancy said the 54-year-old man was parked in his personal vehicle when a suspect smashed the driver’s side window “in an unprovoked manner.” The man called for help from a passing Transit bus, and the 57-year-old man — who is a Transit employee but was a passenger on the bus — got off to help the other man, Chancy said. Both men were attacked by the male suspect before he fled, according to police. The 54-year-old was not injured. The 57-year-old man suffered minor injuries but did not require medical attention, police said. The suspect remains at large. The police press release did not include identifying information about the suspect. More from CBC Manitoba:
