Bella Yahia, 21, has been sentenced to house arrest and one year of probation for her part in a swarming attack on a 17-year-old girl at a park near Burnaby Hospital three years ago.
A 21-year-old woman has been sentenced for her part in a swarming attack at a Burnaby park three years ago that saw a 17-year-old girl knocked to the ground, stomped on the head and robbed of her Jordan sneakers. The charge relates to an incident at Avondale Park near Burnaby Hospital in the early morning hours of June 26, 2020, according to a recent B.C. Supreme Court ruling by Justice Bruce Elwood.
She also suffered scratches, abrasions and bruises on her face, neck, arms, legs and hand, as well as superficial knife wounds to her neck, wrist and side. “What Ms. Yahia did participate in was an unprovoked, violent and cowardly swarming attack on a defenceless young woman who thought she was her friend,” Elwood said.
