OTTAWA — Charges have been laid in connection to a swarming and robbery back on May 25.
The victim, a 19-year old man, planned to meet with someone near the corner of Woodroffe Ave. and Fallowfield Rd. for the sale of a cell phone.
When he arrived, one of two men stabbed him, and demanded he hand over his phone and cash.
The suspects then fled in a waiting vehicle.
The victim was hospitalized for a period of time due to the stabbing.
Sgt. Michael Haarbosch told 1310News police tracked one of the suspects, and went to make an arrest on Monday.
“When he was approached by police, just in the process of trying to take him into custody, he fled,” said Haarbosch, “When he was arrested, one of the officers was assaulted, as well some marijuana was recovered.”
Phillippe Mallet, 20, was charged with a string of offences including aggravated assault, assault with a weapon, robbery, and assaulting a peace officer.
Sgt. Haarbosch warned people who are meeting for the sale of electronics should meet in a well-lit public place, and always ask for the buyers name and email address before hand as a precaution.
