The second man allegedly involved in an assault and robbery in which a man was sprayed with bear mace in Fairview Mall last month has been arrested.

On the morning of March 22, two men set upon a 37-year-old man in the North York mall in order to steal his Breitling watch, valued at over $27,000, police said. The victim was attacked with bear spray, according to police, and the mall had to be evacuated as a result.

Police arrested the first suspect shortly after the assault. Kyle Eric Fraser, 23, of Guelph is facing several charges, including robbery with a weapon and assault with a weapon.

The second suspect was identified in late March, and after almost a month of searching, police say 24-year-old David Zeghouane was arrested on Friday. He is facing eight charges in total, including robbery with a weapon, theft over $5,000 and conspiracy to commit an indictable offence.

He appeared in court on Monday at Old City Hall.
