14-year-old arrested in group beating of autistic Windsor teen

An arrest has been made following a group attack on a teen with autism over the weekend, according to Windsor police.

Windsor police said Wednesday that a 14-year-old youth was arrested and they are looking to identify others involved in the incident.

As of Wednesday afternoon, there's been no word on charges..

"Investigators encourage anyone who may have video or dashcam evidence to contact police," police said in a media release.

According to investigators, a 16-year-old male was waiting for the bus in the 3100 block of Howard Ave. on Saturday night when he was "confronted, chased and attacked by a large group of teenagers."

"The group punched and kicked the victim before fleeing the scene," police said.

The mother of the 16-year-old spoke with CBC News earlier this week.

CBC News is not publishing her name, at her request.

The woman said her son was waiting at the bus stop when he was approached by a group of teens demanding to fight.

The attack left the woman's son with a broken arm, and he will have a permanent scar on his face, she said.

"Every time he looks in the mirror, he's going to be reminded of this," she said.

The woman said her son is now resting and recovering, but isn't able to be alone or take the bus alone.
