An Oshawa man was taken to a local hospital after being beaten by two suspects who broke into his Oshawa residence overnight.
On December 8 at about 7:45 pm, members of Central East Division responded to a residence on Central Park Boulevard in Oshawa after a male victim was assaulted.
The 24-year-old suspect entered the home through a second floor door and while the victim was trying to remove him, he assaulted the victim. The fight ensued outside the home and the second suspect assaulted the victim before fleeing on foot, police said.
Police located one of the two suspects and he was arrested close to the home. The victim was taken to a local hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries.
There was a female in the residence who was also assaulted but she didn’t receive any physical injuries. Nothing was taken from the home and it is not believed to be a random incident.
