An assault in Osborne Village that sent two men to hospital Sunday night, including one in critical condition, was random, police said Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Two suspects \u2014 a man and a woman \u2014 have been charged.<\/p>\n

He was punched, knocked to the ground, and kicked, rendering him unconscious.<\/p>\n

The two suspects walked away and sat on a nearby bus bench.<\/p>\n

The second victim, a man in his 20s, was walking past the suspects when they demanded to use his phone. When he refused, he was assaulted with a broken bottle, police said.<\/p>\n

The male suspect fled, while the female suspect returned to the bus shelter where the original assault occurred and lay down on the sidewalk, falling asleep.<\/p>\n

The victims were rushed to hospital, the first in critical condition and the second in stable condition.<\/p>\n

Police searched the area and found the two suspects, who were arrested.<\/p>\n

Police tape was stretched across the area in front of the Gas Station Arts Centre through much of the morning rush hour Monday as investigators processed the scene.<\/p>\n

A pane of glass from the bus stop in front of the centre was missing and shattered glass remained scattered on the ground.<\/p>\n
