Saskatoon resident Brian Cox says on social media he was attacked Sunday around supper time on Lorne Avenue and 6th Street by six teens whose ages he estimates to be between 12 and 18.

The incident began when a port-a-potty sitting on the boulevard bordering his property was tipped over and he went out to investigate.

He says as he was fighting off the attack, one of the teens pulled a knife. He says he was hit in the head with a rock and when he went down the teens “put the boots to me”.
