Two more teen boys from Chatham are facing assault charges after a second youth was beaten up during school hours earlier this week.

Chatham-Kent police say in the most recently published case, a male student was assaulted while he was walking through the halls of a high school in Chatham just before 1pm Monday.

Officers say the victim was taken to the hospital for medical treatment of undisclosed injuries.

Police say as a result of their investigation, officers arrested two 17-year-old Chatham youths and charged them with aggravated assault.
