The boy who was attacked suffered serious – but not critical – injuries and he was taken to hospital, police spokesperson Const. Amy Gagnon said.
The officers at the scene got “detailed descriptions of the suspects” from witnesses and were able to track down and arrest all three nearby, police said in a news release.
No weapon was used in the incident, Gagnon said. She couldn’t confirm whether the injured teenager remained in hospital Friday.
The three teenagers accused in the case have been charged with robbery and assault causing bodily harm, the police service said.
All three were released into their parents’ custody and are scheduled to appear in court on an unspecified date in March, according to police.
