Waterloo Regional Police say two teens are facing a lengthy list of charges after an incident at a Kitchener high school.

Police say officers were dispatched to Forest Heights Collegiate Institute on Tuesday for an incident involving weapons.

The officers soon discovered that several teens went to the high school to confront another teen. Police say the visiting teens were armed with weapons, including a knife.

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.
