- Officers on patrol and bystanders overpowered one assailant at the scene, and police later detained four people including two minors as four more suspects were identified.
- Police named Sahil Dhananjay Raut as arrested at the spot and identified Pritam Thombre among those detained, while a search continues for the others.
- The injured were identified as Nihal Shinde, who was hit near his left ear, and customer Amol Adhav, who was struck in the leg, and both are receiving hospital care.
