BRAMPTON – Police arrested the assailant who stabbed a 15-year-old boy in a Brampton park Tuesday night in the hours following the attack, but he won’t be charged, The Guardian has learned.

That’s because he is just 11 years old.

He is too young to be charged under the Criminal Code of Canada, and therefore will not face any criminal consequences. Youth must be 12 years or older to be charged with a crime.

However, police will work with “outside agencies” and the young boy’s family in an attempt to resolve whatever issues exist, according to Peel police spokesperson Const. Fiona Thivierge.
