QUADEVILLE, ONT. - A teen from eastern Ontario is accused of attempted murder and sex assault after a child was attacked last month.

Ontario Provincial Police say they responded to a report of a missing child on June 24 in Quadeville, about 170 kilometres west of Ottawa.

Police say the child was found early the next morning with life-threatening injuries.

They say the child remains under medical care.聽

OPP say early evidence suggested a possible animal attack but recent testing of samples taken from the child's wounds have revealed no traces of animal DNA.

A 17-year-old boy has been arrested and charged with attempted murder and sexual assault with a weapon.
