Two men are in custody facing charges after repeatedly assaulting a couple in Osborne Village Friday night...
Around 9:30 pm Friday, two males approached a male and a female - both 48 years old - near the 100 block of Osborne Street, requesting money.
When they were rebuffed, the suspects assaulted the male, who was uninjured. A passerby intervened and the victims went on their way...
A short time later, the male suspects again confronted the victims in the same area. This time, one of the suspects assaulted the female. She was not injured. A third suspect then joined in and proceeded to physically assault the male victim.
The male victim was treated in hospital for non life-threatening injuries.
Police soon after arrested the suspects in the area.
Two men aged 48 and 45 are detained at the Winnipeg Remand Centre. Police are still looking for the third suspect.
