There was an argument and the two men allegedly assaulted Shields, who sustained non-life-threatening injuries, said police.
Christopher Caragianakos, 57, of Toronto, and Steven Caragianakos, 65, of Huntsville, are each charged with one count of assault.
Meanwhile, Nick Tsioros, who operates Olympic Cheese inside St. Lawrence Market, said he’s going to collaborate with Shields, who operates Quesadilla Cart on a non-motorized vehicle.
Tsioros says he’s teaming up with Shields at the grand opening of the St. Lawrence Market’s North Building on Saturday.

“We will be outside of the new building, under the St. Lawrence Market banner,” he wrote in an email to The Toronto Sun.
“Olympic Cheese will collaborate and sponsor him with cheese to serve his quesadillas as well as a unique grilled cheese experience.”
Tsioros said he witnessed the alleged assault and was provided with a video of the incident.
“I found this behaviour disgusting and hate to see an independent, innovative entrepreneur, exiled from the park in that way,” he wrote.
