Hamilton police investigate after girl randomly assaulted on Stoney Creek Mountain

Hamilton police are investigating after an assault on Stoney Creek Mountain Wednesday night when two males allegedly fired a BB gun at a girl in two random attacks.

Officers say at around 7:30 p.m. a girl was walking along the sidewalk of Mud Street near First Road, where two males on an e-scooter approached her.

The males allegedly fired multiple BB gun pellets toward her as they rode past her.

The girl continued walking and encountered the males a second time near a pedestrian tunnel close to Valley Park Recreation Centre, where the males allegedly fired more pellets at her while she tried to run away.

Detectives are working on collecting CCTV footage from homes and businesses in the area, but do not have a description of the suspects at this time.
