CLEVELAND -- Police near Cleveland say they have identified five teenage suspects involved in dumping bodily fluids on an autistic teen who thought he was participating in the "Ice Bucket Challenge."
The teens are between the ages of 14 and 17. Bay Village police chief Mark Spaetzel says evidence will be presented to the Cuyahoga County prosecutor's office early next week to determine whether delinquency charges should be filed.
The incident drew worldwide attention after the autistic teen's mother found a video of it on his cellphone and gave media outlets permission to make it available online. Spaetzel says the prank happened at one of the suspect's homes.
The autistic teen thought he was participating in the challenge benefiting the ALS Association and the fight against Lou Gehrig's disease.
