A Hamilton Police vehicle is seen in this photo on Friday, May 2, 2025. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Nick Iwanyshyn Police say a nine-month-old baby was among the injured after a teenage boy broke into a home on the Hamilton mountain and began discharging bear spray inside the residence. According to police, the incident occurred at around 2 a.m. on Wednesday at a home near Upper Paradise Road and Stone Church Road. In a news release, investigators said they were first called to the home after receiving multiple calls about a 'large disturbance.' Police allege that a 15-year-old boy from Hamilton showed up to the residence in a stolen vehicle and forced his way into the home. Police said he discharged bear spray and then produced a knife before assaulting four family members. Those injured sustained minor injuries, police confirmed. Investigators say a second suspect was involved in the incident but did not say what role he played in the break-in and assault. The family was eventually able to force the two suspects out of the home and detained one until officers arrived on scene, police added. The 15-year-old, who cannot be identified under the provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act, has been charged with assault with a weapon, administering a noxious thing with intent to cause bodily harm, breaking and entering, and a handful of other offences. The second suspect has not yet been identified and remains outstanding, police said. Investigators are asking anyone with information about the case to contact police or Crime Stoppers anonymously.

Machete brawl at Melbourne mall sparks lockdown, teen among two arrested
MELBOURNE, May 25 — A violent brawl involving machetes erupted between rival groups at Northland Shopping Centre in Melbourne's north this afternoon, leaving one person hospitalised and two others — including a 15-year-old boy — under arrest. According to The Sydney Morning Herald (SMH), the clash involved around 10 individuals and triggered a full lockdown of the busy shopping centre. Panicked shoppers took cover inside stores as police swiftly descended on the scene. Victoria Police confirmed they are still working to identify the remaining individuals involved. Superintendent Kelly Lawson said one machete was recovered at the scene and clarified that, despite initial reports, no firearms were involved. Police were called to the shopping centre shortly after 2.30pm following reports of a fight between two opposing groups, some of whom were reportedly armed with knives. SMH reported that the centre was locked down during the incident and remains closed while investigations are ongoing. Videos and photos shared on social media captured a man brandishing a large knife and lunging at two others approaching him. Other footage showed police pinning a man to the ground, while shoppers sought shelter inside stores. Employees near the food court reported seeing two groups clash, with at least two individuals visibly armed with large blades. Inside the shopping centre, staff heard shouting and witnessed people fleeing toward the exits when the fight broke out. A witness told SMH that people were being knocked over and screaming, 'we had to close our doors to protect our customers and ourselves'.
