TWO men were rushed to hospital with head injuries early April 4 after they were reportedly gang beaten at a house party in West Vancouver.

The victims, 21 and 23 years old, were at a home in the 300-block Kawtin Road some time before 3: 30 a.m. when they were set upon by a group of four or five men, according to witnesses.

Police said the attackers beat the pair with a blunt instrument, leaving both with injuries to the head and one with severe lacerations on one arm. One of the men left the party and returned to his home on Skawshen Road, where family members called 9-1-1.

West Vancouver police responded to the scene and subsequently found the second victim bleeding from the head on Bridge Road near Taylor Way. Both men were taken by ambulance to Lions Gate Hospital where they were treated and released.

Police said Thursday they are following up on leads, but have so far made no arrests. "There are a couple of possible suspects, but it hasn't been narrowed down yet," said Const. Tammy Khorram, a spokeswoman for the WVPD.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the West Vancouver police at 6049257300.
