Peel Regional Police are requesting the public’s help in identifying two suspects involved in a violent assault at Wet’n’Wild Toronto, a popular waterpark in Brampton.

According to investigators, the confrontation began as a verbal dispute in line for a water slide and quickly escalated into a physical assault. The altercation continued through the park and eventually reached a retail shop, where the suspects allegedly used merchandise as weapons before fleeing the scene.
The female victim sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries, police confirmed.
A bystander captured part of the assault on video, which was later shared on social media by @CrimewatchTO. Police are urging anyone who may recognize the individuals to come forward.
The male suspect is described as:

The female suspect is described as:
- Black
- 30 to 35 years old
