Two teenagers from Fort Chipewyan are recovering from injuries they suffered after being assaulted with what RCMP call an “edged weapon”.

Early Sunday morning, a fight broke out at the Archie Simpson Arena involving a number of youths. Two 17 year old boys were airlifted to Northern Lights Health Centre. One was treated and released, while the other is in serious but stable condition.

Police say they have a 15 year old suspect in custody.
