On December 2, 2021 a Richmond RCMP frontline officer was attempting to arrest a man for an alleged theft when the man allegedly assaulted the officer.

During the attempted arrest, a struggle on the ground ensued. Prior to additional officers arriving, the man was able to break free and run from the area on foot.

The incident occurred at approximately 6:30 pm in the 4600 block of No 3 Rd.

Fortunately, the officer only sustained minor injuries.
