Two Sylvan youths have been charged with assault after the attack of a teenager was caught on video.

On Jan. 20, the Sylvan Lake RCMP received a complaint from a concerned citizen of an assault which took place during the lunch hour outside a local business on 50 Street.

The RCMP detachment obtained a video which depicted a male youth being assaulted by two other male youths.

The 16-year-old victim was treated for significant injuries sustained at an area hospital and was released.

As a result of the investigation, Sylvan Lake RCMP have charged two 15-year-old males with assault causing bodily harm and both have been released to appear in Red Deer Provincial Youth Court on March 24.

In accordance with the Youth Criminal Justice Act, the name of the youth charged will not be released.
