A 13-year-old boy from Bradford West Gwillimbury, a town in south central Ontario, has been charged with assault following an altercation that sent another teenager to hospital last week.

South Simcoe Police say they were called at around 8.20pm on September 14 after a 13-year-old boy collapsed shortly after returning from school.
An investigation by the Criminal Investigations Bureau determined that the boy had been injured in a physical altercation and charged another 13-year-old with aggravated assault.
The alleged victim remains in hospital in critical condition.
The accused has been released to his parents and will appear in court at a later date.
Police say they are aware of a video of the fight circulating on social media and are calling on anyone in their possession to submit it to investigators or Crime Stoppers.
