4 youth assaulted with bear mace

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 09 Sep, 2024 03:10 PM
  • 4 youth assaulted with bear mace

West Shore Mounties say a 32-year-old man is facing eight charges after a group of four youth were assaulted with bear mace last week.

They say officers responded to a report of an assault on Wednesday around on the Galloping Goose Trail.

Police say the youth had been sprayed with mace by a man who was wearing a balaclava and one victim had sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries after he was cut with a knife.

The R-C-M-P say they later identified and arrested Kai Seppala, and he is scheduled to appear in court next month for charges including assault with a weapon and using a disguise while committing an offence.

Former fashion mogul Peter Nygard is a "sexual predator" who showed no empathy for his victims, an Ontario judge said Monday as he sentenced the disgraced tycoon to 11 years in prison for his crimes in Toronto. The 83-year-old's time behind bars will work out to a little less than seven years after accounting for credit he received for time already spent in custody, and Nygard will be eligible to apply for parole in just over two years.
