Two of the young men who appear in a photograph with Mayor Rob Ford have been named by police as members of a violent Etobicoke gang and face an array of criminal charges, according to court documents released on Friday.

Police arrested Mohammad Khattak and Monir Kasim along with 26 others in a dramatic gang sweep on Thursday. The busts focused on several residential towers notorious for guns and drugs lining Dixon Road between Islington and Kipling avenues.
