Guelph assault caught on video, 15-year-old girl charged

A teenage girl has been charged with assault after police say her friends recorded her punching another girl in Guelph.

Police received a call from a girl just before 7pm on Wednesday.

The girl told police she was with a friend near Scottsdale Drive and Wilsonview Avenue when they saw another group of girls they knew.

A girl from the second group allegedly approached the victim and started punching her while her friends filmed the attack and prevented the victim from leaving.

The girl was slightly injured, but did not seek medical attention.

Officers later found a suspect at her home in Guelph-Eramosa Township and arrested her.

The investigation revealed that the teenager has two release orders that prohibit her from associating with one of the girls who recorded the incident.

A 15-year-old girl was charged with assault and two counts of failing to comply with a release order.
