Two more teens charged in connection with apparent brawl in Massey Place

Two more teens have been charged in connection with an apparent brawl involving both bear spray and a fire extinguisher that left a man badly injured.

On Monday, police issued a media release saying officers responded just after 4 a.m. to an apartment building on Confederation Drive in the Massey Place neighbourhood for what police described as 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,” police said in a statement. “An injured 25-year-old male was quickly located and transported to hospital with serious, non-life-threatening injuries.”

Officers saw a number of women nearby with “a significant amount of blood on them.” Two of them – a 16-year-old girl and a 19-year-old woman – were arrested and charged with aggravated assault.

Police said a fight involving numerous people had occurred, with the 25-year-old man being assaulted. But officers also alleged the victim had assaulted one of the suspects, so he was charged with domestic assault.

In an update Friday, police said two more teen girls — ages 14 and 15 — have also been charged with aggravated assault. A 14-year-old boy is also expected to face the same charge, police added.
