Local Teen Charged With Assault

More details are coming to light in relation to an assault in the Current River area that was recorded on video.

Police say they’ve charged a 16-year old Thunder Bay girl with assault, after a video on social media showed the accused following a male, and then police say she hit the victim before running away.

During the early stages of the investigation, police didn’t know who the victim was, but after a public appeal, they know now who that is.

Police add the witnesses recording it knew the accused, but the victim didn’t know them. It happened around 2 o’clock, Saturday morning. Due to the Youth Criminal Justice Act, the accused can’t be named, but this matter will be addressed in court July 30th.

  • Originally from southern Ontario, Jason found his way here and fell in love with the community and music scene of Thunder Bay over twenty years ago. In between various stints on radio, television and writing, Jason is a dad, a partner and (some would consider) a zoo keeper (seriously, he has a LOT of pets).
