A police spokesperson tells CityNews four people were arrested at the scene and that weapons were recovered. The type of weapons used in the brawl was not made clear.
Police also confirmed with CityNews that paramedics treated one person that was sprayed in the face with pepper spray.
It’s unclear if pepper spray was among the weapons recovered by officers at the scene.
A video circulating on social media shows a large crowd of what appears to be high school students engaged in a violent brawl.
One young man appears to be holding a crowbar-type weapon and can be seen threatening others while holding it.
That video has not yet been connected to the brawl. CityNews has reached out to Peel police for comment.
