A vicious fight at an illegal gambling house in North York has led to the arrest of one man and a search for two others.
Toronto police said the incident happened on Sept. 18 around 8:15 p.m. when a 52-year-old man and a 27-year-old man entered the house in the Yonge Street and Steeles Avenue area.
Once the two men were admitted inside by a 28-year-old man, they were immediately ambushed by two other men. The suspects beat and attacked the two men with weapons, even after the 27-year-old man lost consciousness.
Police said the 52-year-old man was pushed and locked outside of the gambling house during the attack. The man returned with a weapon of his own as him and the 27-year-old attempted to flee, but had lost control of it and was attacked with the weapon.
An arrest was made on Monday, when 28-year-old Keko Kapo, of Ajax, was charged with two counts of aggravated assault and two counts of assault with a weapon.
Toronto police are still searching for two other men.
