Two Transit Police Officers Hurt In Arrest At Vancouver's Stadium SkyTrain Station

The Canadian Press, 29 Jun, 2018 12:24 PM
    NEW WESTMINSTER, B.C. — Transit police say two officers have been injured while arresting a man at a train station in Vancouver.
     
     
    Police were called Monday night after a man reportedly smashed bottles at the Granville SkyTrain station, then headed to the Stadium SkyTrain station, where he allegedly got into a fight with another man and punched two bystanders in the face.
     
     
    Transit police say in a news release that two officers responded and tried to arrest the man, but there was a violent struggle where one officer was allegedly pushed and then thrown to the ground, hitting her head.
     
     
    Police say the other officer injured his shoulder as he continued to struggle with the man until other officers arrived and the suspect was arrested.
     
     
    The force says both officers were taken to hospital, where one was treated for a concussion and the other was treated for a shoulder injury, before they were both released.
     
     
    A 30-year-old Vancouver resident has been charged with obstructing a police officer and resisting arrest, and transit police are recommending further charges of assaulting a police officer and causing a disturbance.
