Toronto police say they\u2019ve arrested two people and are searching for two outstanding suspects after an alleged four-on-one beating that sent a male to hospital earlier this month.<\/p>\n

Officers were called to the St. Clair Avenue West and Dufferin Street area on Monday, February 9, 2026, at around 8:47 p.m. for reports of an assault.<\/p>\n

Investigators say the victim met with four people outside his building.<\/p>\n

At some point the meet-up turned violent, and police allege all four of the suspects assaulted the male before fleeing the area.<\/p>\n

The victim, whose age was not released, suffered serious injuries.<\/p>\n

The next day officers arrested two of the suspects.<\/p>\n

Lino Pagano, 63, and Linda Elmaleh, 57, both of Toronto, face charges of assault, assault with a weapon and aggravated assault. Elmaleh faces an addition charged of fail to comply with probation order.<\/p>\n

Investigators are now trying to identify the outstanding suspects. They are described as:<\/p>\n

Suspect #1: male, clean shaven with a medium build, 30-40 years-old. He was wearing a blue baseball hat, dark jacket with a white stripe across the chest, gray pants and black shoes with a white sole.<\/p>\n

Suspect #2: male, with a medium build, 50-60 years old, with blond hair. He was wearing a blue medical mask, black jacket, blue jeans and brown boots.<\/p>\n
