Police are looking to speak with anyone who may have witnessed a physical fight between two high school students and a parent in Oak Ridges, Ont.
According to York Regional Police, a group of students gathered near Briar Nine Park at around 3 p.m. on Friday to watch a fight between a student from Cardinal Carter Catholic High School and a student from St. Theresa Lisieux Catholic High School.
Investigators believe the two students intentionally met in the area to fight each other.
At some point during the fight, a parent of one of the students got involved. It’s unclear what high school the parent’s child attends.
A video circulating on Twitter shows two male students throwing punches at each other in the park. A few seconds into the video, an adult male begins to punch a separate male student in the background.
A second video, also circulating on Twitter, appears to show a large group of students becoming aggressive with the same adult male. The man, who is now bleeding from his head and face, is attacked again time by the students who punch and kick him repeatedly until he falls to the ground.
Police said they are aware of multiple videos of the fight being shared on social media and are urging anyone who witnessed the incident or has information pertaining to it to contact at 1-866-876-5423, ext. 7241 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
