Halifax Regional Police laid charges against two adults and three youth for an assault that occurred downtown last year.
Early in the morning on June 23, 2024, officers responded to a report of two women, age 21 and 23, who had been assaulted by a group of people unknown to them.
Police say the investigation was long and complex and involved a number of witnesses and evidence.
Hussein Mashhour, 19, has been charged with assault causing bodily harm and appeared in Halifax provincial court in January 2025.
A second man, 18, has been charged with assault causing bodily harm and will appear in Halifax provincial court at a later date. He cannot yet be named as his charge has yet to be sworn.
Two 18-year-olds who were youths at the time of the assault have been charged with assault causing bodily harm. They are scheduled to appear at Halifax provincial youth court at a later date to face charges.
A 17-year-old youth has been charged with two counts of assault and is scheduled to appear at Halifax provincial youth court at a later date to face charges.
The names of the three youth are protected under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
