Durham Police yesterday said a youth is recovering after being assaulted at a high school in Whitby.
On Thursday, March 21 at about 12:20 pm, members from Central West Division responded to an unknown trouble call at Father Leo Austin Catholic School located at 1020 Dryden Blvd in Whitby.
Officers arrived on scene and located a youth suffering from a head injury. He was transported to a local-area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
An on-scene investigation revealed that the victim was struck in the head with a baseball bat by a group of five to six males who left the area in a vehicle. Investigators believe this to be a targeted attack and there is no risk to public safety.
