South Simcoe police allege two teens were harassing a young woman and boxed her car in at a park in Innisfil, Ont., early Friday morning.
They allege that when some of the woman’s friends arrived to assist her, one of the suspects got a gun from the trunk of his car and pointed it at one of her friends while threatening to shoot him.
Officers say a 17-year-old from Innisfil is charged with pointing a firearm, dangerous driving, assault and uttering threats, while a 17-year-old from Barrie, Ont., is charged with pointing a firearm and uttering threats.
Investigators alleged the parents of one of the accused caused a disturbance by yelling at officers and witnesses and during their arrest an officer was bitten on the arm. They say the officer was treated by a paramedic at the scene.
A 45-year-old Innisfil woman is charged with assaulting a police officer and obstructing a police officer, while a 51-year-old Innisfil man is charged with obstructing a police officer. All four are to appear in court in August.
