Police have arrested two youths in connection to a disturbing assault that happened in Port Moody earlier this week.
The Port Moody Police Department’s Youth Services Section was notified on May 7th of an online video “depicting an assault” near the Moody Centre Skytrain Station.
The video shows two male youths assaulting a female youth while bystanders “appear to encourage the attack”. Police arrested two 12-year-old boys who have been released with conditions.
The victim sustained minor injuries and the motive remains unclear however. Police say the incident was not provoked.
“We are still gathering evidence to support criminal charges” states Cst. Sam Zacharias. “Anyone with information who has not yet spoken with us is asked to contact our investigators.”
