Caledon OPP were called to a high school football game on Oct. 3 to investigate after multiple incidents occurred, including a physical altercation and the use of pepper spray.
Ontario Provincial Police are investigating what they call a “significant disturbance” at a football game in Caledon, Ont., last Friday.
According to the OPP’s Caledon detachment, officers responded to reports at Humberview Secondary School of a disturbance at the Friday Night Lights football game being held as part of the school’s 50th anniversary celebrations.
Police say officers already in attendance had been alerted to a large gathering of students in which pepper spray was reported to have been deployed among the crowd.
Paramedics were requested to treat two individuals for pepper spray, with another youth taken to hospital for serious injuries after a physical altercation, police say.
More police officers were called to manage multiple incidents as authorities say the situation escalated, with reports of weapons and further altercations taking place in and around the school grounds.
OPP says a youth was temporarily detained after they were found in possession of a knife, but was released after police determined they were not involved in any of the altercations.
Police and school officials shut down the football game due to safety concerns and the number of people in attendance.
