Five youth have been arrested after police responded to an assault-in-progress over the weekend.

Shortly after 2:00 a.m., April 19, 2025, patrol officers responded to a residence in the 100 block of Avenue M South after it was reported a male had been physically assaulted outside and then dragged into a nearby residence. Upon arrival, police heard a person in distress and entered the home where they located the victim. The 16-year-old male was transported to hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries.

The victim and suspects are believed to be known to each other.

Five youth – three male and two female – are facing charges.
