A 16-year-old Guelph boy became the third teen arrested and charged in the beating of another teen.

Guelph police said the incident occurred on Oct. 9 at roughly 7:45 p.m., when several teens were at a school on Scottsdale Drive and one boy was struck in the back of the head and knocked to the ground.

Three boys then kicked him repeatedly in the head and torso, causing a chipped tooth and other injuries, police said. He also had his hoodie torn and his vape stolen.

The boy was charged with assault causing bodily harm, robbery and mischief under $5,000.

Two 15-year-olds had previously been arrested on the assault and mischief charges. All three have been released with future court dates.
