Ottawa police laid charges against two teenagers after a swarming in the city's west end last Thursday.

Police say 18-year-old Michel Aurelus-Marmontel and a 16-year-old, who cannot be named, face robbery charges in relation to the incident.

The two are accused of jumping a teenaged boy as he walked down Iris Street after midnight Sept. 8.

The victim was robbed and suffered minor injuries.

The two teens charged will appear in court early October.
