They demanded money and when the boy refused to hand it over they punched and kicked him, leaving him with “serious” injuries.

The robbery unit has charged the two youths with robbery and aggravated assault. They appear in court on Apr. 30.

Detectives asked for tips identifying the two other suspects, also believed to be minors, but no description of them was available.

Anyone with information about the identity of the two other assailants is asked to call the robbery unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 5116. Anonymous tips can be submitted to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or by downloading the Ottawa police app.
