Two teens are facing aggravated assault charges following an altercation early Sunday morning.
At approximately 4:10 a.m., March 19, 2023, Patrol members were dispatched to an apartment building in the 800 block of Confederation Drive for a report of an unknown problem. Upon arrival, officers were met with a heavy odour of bear spray inside along with a fog from a recently deployed fire extinguisher. An injured 25-year-old male was quickly located and transported to hospital with serious, non-life threatening injuries. Patrol officers observed multiple females in the area with a significant amount of blood on them. Two of them, ages 16 and 19, were arrested and each charged with Aggravated Assault.
Police learned that, prior to their arrival, an altercation involving numerous people occurred, resulting in the victim, the 25-year-old man, being assaulted. Further investigation determined that the victim had previously assaulted one of the suspects. The 25-year-old man was also charged with Domestic Assault.
The investigation continues as further charges are expected.
