The aerial support unit was alerted and quickly found three people who allegedly matched the descriptions of the suspects, police said. The suspects were seen near Avonhurst Drive and Elphinstone Street and patrol officers responded.
The three suspects were arrested. About two hours later, the fourth suspect was found in the 100 block of North Queen Street.
Paramedics treated the victim for bear spray exposure.
As a result of police investigation, four men, aged 18, 20, 21 and 22, are facing charges of mischief under $5,000. The 21-year-old man is also facing a charge of failure to comply with the conditions of a release order.
All four men are scheduled to appear in Regina Provincial Court on Oct. 20.
