    VANCOUVER — A Vancouver police officer has been convicted of assaulting a cyclist during an arrest.
     
    Const. Ismail Bhabha's actions were captured on video that surfaced on the Internet.

    Akhavan was stopped in March 2013 for allegedly running a red light and not wearing a helmet.
     
    The Office of the Police Complaints Commission ordered West Vancouver police to conduct an investigation.
