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.
