SURREY - Following assault with a weapon at an Indo-Canadian dominated Newton school, police arrested two young suspects after one youth was injured in the violence captured on video.

Surrey RCMP investigators have identified three suspects involved in the assault, which occurred at approximately 11:30 a.m. Monday, March 1 outside of Panorama Ridge Secondary School. 

The assault occurred outside of the school. The injured youth was taken to an area hospital in stable condition. Police placed the school on a hold and secure until the safety of all of the students was confirmed.

All of the suspects are youth, and are not previously known to police. Two suspects are currently under arrest and in police custody. A third suspect has not yet been arrested; police are currently working to locate them.

The initial indications are that the assault is related to an on-going dispute among parties known to one another. This incident is not related to gang activity and there is no indication of an on-going risk to safety at the school.

RCMP placed the school on a “hold and secure” until they could confirm students were safe.

“The initial indications are that the assault is related to an on-going dispute among parties known to one another,” RCMP said in a statement, which went on to say there is no ongoing risk to safety at the school.
