A 15-year-old was arrested Sept. 22 and charged with assault and criminal possession of a weapon after a knife and pepper-spray attack on a Q24 bus in Richmond Hill on Sept. 12. The bus was about half full when a 16-year-old was allegedly sprayed while attempting to board. Multiple videos show a group of teens fighting, one holding a machete and another holding a knife, with a young girl appearing to laugh as she pepper-sprays a boy. The bus driver positioned himself to de-escalate and was uninjured. Police are still seeking at least one other suspect and the investigation remains ongoing.
