Transit police in Metro Vancouver say three teenage girls have been charged for two violent assaults that happened on public transit in Surrey in July.

They say around 9 P-M on July 11th, the group attacked a 16-year-old at a SkyTrain station and later beat an 18-year-old woman on a bus following a verbal assault. 

Police say officers were called to the scene, where three suspects -- who were ages 13, 15 and 17 -- were identified.

They say the teens have since been charged with assault.
