Sgt. Jay Turner, Hamilton Police: “It’s a serious event and we are now looking at the video now trying to identify the parties in the video and hoping to make arrests if that’s warranted. The security guards would not be investigated, they were within their lawful rights as working for the property to remove people from the property who are disorderly or trespassing.”

The men fled before police arrived. The area was checked but they were not located.
