Mounties said witnesses called for help and the two suspects fled the area before officers arrived.

The first suspect is described as a black male, in his late 20s with a slim build, black buzz cut hair and was wearing a blue T-shirt.

The second suspect is described as a black male in his 20s, also with a slim build.
