THUNDER BAY – It is not the start to the academic year that Lakehead University, or the City of Thunder Bay wanted. The Thunder Bay Police Service report that “A 22 year old male is in critical condition following an assault early Sunday morning.  A group of approximately 5 males in their early twenties attempted to crash a party at a Darwin Crescent residence around 4:00 a.m. Sunday morning.  Two males from the house went outside and a confrontation began.  This confrontation escalated as the two groups reached Newton Street”.

The two Darwin Crescent residents became involved in a fight with the larger group.  A nearby resident called 911 to report the confrontation. The group involved in the assault had fled the scene.  A 22 year old male was transported to Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre by Superior North EMS.
