Burnaby R-C-M-P say they've arrested a suspect after an 89-year-old woman was assaulted at the Metrotown mall.
Mounties say it happened on April 20th when the victim was shoved to the ground by an unknown man.
She suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was released from hospital later that day.
