At this point, police tasered the girl and she was taken into custody with no serious injuries.

None of the officers were hurt in the incident.

The girl was later transported to hospital for medical attention.

She is now facing charges of carrying a weapon for a purpose dangerous to the public, resist arrest and commit mischief by willfully destroying or damaging property to a value not exceeding five thousand dollars.

She was released from custody to her guardian on strict conditions and will appear in Provincial Court at a later date.
