The assault occurred at a convenience store near Commercial Drive and East 10th Avenue on July 31.
Police say a 42-year-old man had stopped to buy a slushie after attending Pride events downtown. Following a brief verbal confrontation between the man and another person waiting in line, the victim was jumped by three men after leaving the store.
The VPD released video of the attack over the weekend and asked the public for help identifying the suspects.
In a statement issued Monday, Const. Jason Doucette said VPD investigators began receiving tips from the public "as soon as the video was released." Doucette said all three of the suspects identified are under 18.
"We are confident that all of the suspects have been identified," said Doucette. "And will be held accountable for their role in the attack.
