A teen arrested following a pepper spray attack in Antigonish is scheduled to return to court in April.
RCMP say the incident, which started as a verbal argument, escalated to a physical assault on Notre Dame Ave. in March 2018.
They say three young men pepper sprayed two other young men, who were taken to hospital and treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
Police say three teens were arrested and released from custody on strict conditions.
A boy, 17, from Nyanza, who can’t be identified because of his age, faces two counts of assault causing bodily harm; he had his case referred to Restorative Justice in October.
He was expected for a status update in Antigonish Youth Court Thursday; he’s scheduled for another hearing April 10.
Police didn’t proceed with charges against a 17-year-old from Baddeck and an 18-year-old from St. Joseph du Moine.
