London police are searching for three male suspects and have a fourth in custody on weapons charges after a group of boys were surrounded and attacked in north London Wednesday evening.
Police said a 16-year-old was arrested Thursday at his home after the victims and multiple witnesses reported the suspects, wearing ski masks, surrounded the boys on the south side of Sunningdale Road, between Richmond and Adelaide streets.
A 13-year-old boy was stopped by the suspects, police said, and was struck on the head with a handgun carried by the teenager currently in custody.
The teen had taken off his ski mask, and witnesses said he made verbal threats before fleeing after the three other suspects currently being sought by police.
The victim sustained minor injuries, police said.
Police are searching for three males, all of whom are described as slim. One had black hair and was wearing black jeans and a black T-shirt.
The 16-year-old, who cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, was appearing in a London court on Friday. He's charged with the following:

Following a quiet and sunny start to September, some wet and windy weather will track into the region just in time for the weekend. A low pressure system moving in from the south will bring periods of heavy rainfall and some gusty winds, particularly for eastern areas. The storm is a bit of a hybrid system. It has some tropical characteristics, but also the traits of a regular fall storm. While there are discrepancies in the models, the storm looks like it will bring widespread rainfall amounts in the range of 30-50 millimetres for Nova Scotia, with 50-100 millimetres possible in downpours and thunderstorms.
