Officers were told a man, who was taking out his garbage in the area, was confronted and assaulted by two suspects who were armed in an apparent robbery. Police said the man was able to get away and call 911.

A 16-year-old was also taken to hospital with minor injuries.
He has been charged with:
• Robbery;

• Possessing a weapon;
• Pointing a firearm;
• Possessing a firearm, restricted/prohibited weapon or ammunition contrary to a prohibition order; and
