Two teenagers were arrested last Tuesday and four others were picked up the next day, Richmond RCMP Cpl. Nycki Basra said. They have all been released, police said, and charges are being considered.

"The investigation is still continuing, and we're looking at charges of assault causing [bodily harm] as well as possibly extortion and possibly [uttering] threats," Basra told CBC News Tuesday.

Game Wu told police he was jumped by six teens and punched repeatedly at a bus stop outside A.R. MacNeill Secondary School in the Vancouver suburb on Nov. 13.

"My head and my body and my hand … I can't eat, I can't sleep," said the slim teen, who came to Canada from China with his family two years ago.

Wu transferred to the school only two months ago. Shortly after arriving, six teens started bugging him and later demanded $1,000 each from him, he claimed.

Wu said he's not rich but made some money over the summer.

"They know I have worked in the summer so they know I have money."

When he didn't pay up, the teens dragged him toward a bus stop after school and began punching him, Wu claimed.

"I scared that they might attack me again," he said.

Basra said police are taking the incident very seriously.

Police are conducting interviews, and further interviews still need to be done with Wu, who was treated in hospital with bumps, bruises and cuts.

He said while his physical wounds are slowly healing, the experience still haunts him.

"I want to change the school. Yeah, I don't know, maybe change the school," he said.

Wu's family is thinking about moving to another city, and Wu has no intention of returning to the school, his mother, Rose He, said.

"When I moved to Canada I thought Canada is rather safe and people are good-tempered towards others. I never thought it would happen," she said in her native language, Mandarin.

School administrators at A.R. MacNeill Secondary said the six teens are not at school, but wouldn't comment further.
