Guelph police are investigating after an 18-year-old from Brampton was stabbed in the leg at a Halloween party Saturday night.

Investigators are now trying to identify several males who may have been involved and were wearing construction worker costumes.

Officers responded to a home near Stone Road East and Watson Parkway South around 11 p.m. after several people called to report a disturbance involving several males outside the home.

Police say the victim attempted to diffuse the situation then “felt a sharp pain in his leg.” He noticed a cut in his pants and realized he was bleeding. He was transported to hospital for treatment of a minor injury.

Witnesses described the people involved in the altercation to be several brown males with beards and a white male with a beard and grey sweater. All were wearing construction worker costumes.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Guelph police at 519-824-1212.
