Instead of finding the teen the group was after, another teen, who was not involved in the dispute, confronted them and was assaulted by the group, according to police.

They say the teen was left with minor injuries as a result.

The officers tracked down two teens, a boy and a girl, and arrested them in connection with the attack at Forest Heights Collegiate Institute.

The pair have both been charged with assault with a weapon and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose. The boy has also been charged with failing to comply with a release order, while she is facing a breach of probation charge.
