At approximately 2:45 a.m., the Durham Regional Police service (DRPS) said in a news release, officers were called to a report of a stabbing in the area of Wilkins Crescent and Stonefield Street.

When officers arrived on scene, they located two males, aged 20 and 21, suffering from multiple stab wounds.

Two suspects were taken into custody a short time later, police said.

Elham Ahad-Rassy, 18 and Mason Smith, 21, both of Clarington, Ont., were charged with aggravated assault, assault with a weapon and possession of a weapon – dangerous to public peace.

Police said that both suspects were released on an undertaking.
