The suspects fled the area but were arrested a short time later, police said.

A 14-year-old boy from Toronto was charged with aggravated assault, assault with a weapon, and weapons dangerous.

A 16-year-old boy, also from Toronto, was charged with two counts of failing to comply with a probation order, using an imitation firearm during an offence, threatening bodily harm, assault with a weapon, aggravated assault and weapons dangerous.
