Police say the teen was arrested on Wednesday and is facing several charges including aggravated assault, robbery, possession of weapons for a dangerous purpose, failure to comply with release order and three counts of breach of probation.

Back on Jan. 3, the incident was said to have begun when a black vehicle pulled up to the intersection of King and Queen streets before the occupants got into a verbal altercation with two men and a woman who were walking along King Street.
