A teenager in North Battleford is in serious but stable condition after he was bear-sprayed and beaten up. 

On Sunday afternoon, two teenage boys were walking home when they were confronted by another group and attacked with bear spray. 

The 14-year-old victim was able to run away but his 16-year-old friend was caught and beaten up.

Police found him with life threatening injuries. He was taken to the Battlefords Union hospital and later transferred to Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon where he is in stable condition.

A 15-year-old and 17-year-old boy are scheduled in court Monday morning to face aggravated assault and weapons charges. 

A warrant has been issued for a 16-year-old male.
