A New Westminster youth could be spending some time behind bars.
Police arrested the 17-year-old boy earlier this week in relation to a fight that took place at Moody Park on Monday.
New Westminster police were called to the park around 2 p.m. on Oct. 28 after receiving a report that a fight had broken out near the outdoor pool.
When the officers arrived, they found a 16-year-old suffering from "a number of significant but non-life-threatening injuries," according to a New Westminster police media release.
The victim was taken to hospital and has since recovered.
Shortly after the incident, police arrested and charged the 17-year-old for his alleged role in the dispute.
The boy made his first court appearance on Oct. 31, and the judge upheld the charge - one count of assault causing bodily harm, according to the release.
The youth was released on bail and will be back in court on Nov. 6, but because he is under 18 years old, he will not be identified.
Police believe there are other individuals who were involved in the fight and are asking anyone with information to contact Const. Justine Thom at 604-525-5411.
