City Police say a dispute led to Rahman being assaulted by three men on the sidewalk in front of The Curry House shortly after 9:15 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 17. The three male suspects then fled.
Anyone who has further information or video recordings of the area near the restaurant is asked to contact Owen Sound Police at 519-376-1234 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
There’s been an outpouring of community support for the Rahman family in wake of the vicious attack. The storefront at The Curry House is filled with flowers and supportive messages. Hundreds of people attended a quiet vigil walk earlier this week. And more than $132,000 has been raised through an online fundraiser.
