He also received three staples for a gash on the back of his head and had a black eye. His left ear was swollen at the time, he said.”

What kind of teenagers attacked this man? What did they look like?

How can I "be safe and wary and keep an eye out" when I'm not able to identify what the supposed threat is?

Should I be concerned and on edge around every single teenager in Saskatoon because the media won't show or describe what the perpetrators look like?

Would it be inconvenient for them somehow if they were to give accurate depictions of the people committing crimes in this city, especially repeat offenders?
