The Burnaby RCMP have arrested a woman for the assault of an 84-year-old senior that took place last April. On April 3rd, 2020, on Central Boulevard near Metrotown Skytrain Station, a woman approached an 84-year-old woman using a walker, tripped the elderly women and knocked her to the ground.

The Burnaby RCMP would like to thank the public for all their assistance.
