A 14-year-old is facing robbery, assault and weapons charges after an alleged assault in Dartmouth, N.S., earlier this week.

Halifax Regional Police (HRP) says a group of about 10 youths assaulted and took property from another youth who they knew. One of the youths had what police believe was a replica firearm.
On Wednesday, police arrested a 14-year-old who is due in Dartmouth youth court at a later date to face charges of:
- robbery
- assault
- possession of a weapon dangerous to the public peace
- pointing a firearm
Police say a video of the incident is circulating online.
