A real estate agent and well-known media personality in Brampton, Ontario was violently attacked in broad daylight by three men, two of whom appeared to be holding an axe and a sickle.
Belleville Police said this happened around 8:15 a.m. on August 4 in the area of Hurontario Street and Mayfield Road.
In a video obtained by CTV News Toronto, the victim, identified by the family as Goti Singh Mann, was seen approaching his white Jeep Wrangler Rubicon.
As he settles into his seat, a suspect carrying an axe approaches. The video shows the suspect attacking with his weapon and full force at the driver's side window - breaking the glass on impact and completely removing the window.
Emergency crews were called to the scene shortly after the incident. Belleville Police were unable to comment on the extent of Mann’s injuries but said he is currently in stable condition.
Mann is a well-known real estate agent in Brampton and regularly appears on his podcast where he discusses current issues in India.
Mann's mother told CP24 through an interpreter that her son said he received a threat while recording his latest podcast episode. Speaking to CP24, Brampton Council member Gurpreet Singh Dhillon said he visited Mann in the hospital and that his injuries include the amputation of a big toe, loss of movement in one hand, and that he received more than 25 stitches.
Investigators told CTV News Toronto that the incident was targeted and not related to a carjacking, but the motive behind the attack is currently unknown. No arrests have been made so far.
