Both suspects are believed to be in their early 20s.
At the time of the attack, one was wearing a black Crooks and Castle shirt with long sleeves and white Nike high-top sneakers. The second was wearing a brown Levi’s hooded sweatshirt, black jacket, black jeans and white sneakers.
“Violence against vulnerable members of our city will not be tolerated,” said a staff sergeant. Jeff McQueen.
“We are investigating this brutal attack as a hate crime because we believe the victim was targeted because of his socio-economic situation.
Police are asking anyone with information to call 403-266-1234 or anonymously through Crime Stoppers.
