5th teen charged in relation to a viral bullying video
WARNING: VIDEO CONTAINS OFFENSIVE LANGUAGE
A fifth person has now been charged in relation to a viral video that showed a Windsor teenager being shoved and punched. Two females and three males ranging in age from 14 to 19 have been charged with assault.
The charges stem from an incident that occurred the evening of Tuesday November 8th. That's when police say a teenage girl was repeatedly punched and yelled at by a group of teens who surrounded her near Pillette Road and Wyandotte Street. The victim was left with minor injuries that did not require medical attention.
Public outcry over the incident erupted on social media, with people making threats against the suspects. Police have since asked the public to stop contacting the suspects while the Windsor Police Youth Crime Branch is investigating.
