The man had a visible head injury and was laying in a parking lot on Ontario Street and Main Street just after 2:30 a.m. Sunday, police say.

Police say the initial investigation suggests that the man tried to break up a fight between two people when he sustained the injury. Someone showed an officer on scene a video of what had happened, but they left before police could take down their contact information.

Police are now looking for any “witnesses who captured the events on their cell phones.”

“If you, or someone you know, has photos or videos of this event please contact the OPP at 1-888-310-1122,” police say.

OPP Const. Jamie Bydeley said it’s not yet known whether alcohol was a factor in the incident. No other injuries were reported.
