Two unidentified black men are sought for an assault last month in North York that involved a machete.

Toronto Police say the attack occurred near Jane St. and Sheppard Ave. W. around 12:30 a.m. on March 7.

“It is reported that two men were involved in an altercation with the victim,” Const. Sinderela Chung said Wednesday. “One of the men used a machete to assault the victim.”

She said the victim suffered injuries that were not considered life-threatening.
