Edmonton police said two people were injured on Tuesday night after being attacked by a hammer in the west end.

Police believe two men attacked two other males with a hammer at Westmount Centre on Groat Road and 111 Avenue.

“Two males were actually beaking off at each other. One pulled out a hammer and hit one of the males,” Staff Sgt. Barry Maron said. “The two that were the “assaulters,” you might say, took off in a car.”

Maron said investigators don’t believe the two groups were known to each other.
