WINNIPEG – Police in Winnipeg allege a young woman was assaulted by security staff until she was unconscious after she was confronted about smoking on a business’s patio.
A news release from the Winnipeg Police Service says the 18-year-old woman was at the business on Main St. on Aug. 30 when a security member advised her that smoking on the patio was prohibited.
They got into a verbal argument, police say, which escalated to a physical altercation and the woman fell to the ground.
Police allege she was assaulted by the security member while on the ground, which rendered her unconscious.
They say the woman required medical treatment for her injuries.
Police say their Major Crimes Unit took over the investigation and obtained video surveillance, and a 42-year-old man was arrested Friday and faces a charge of assault causing bodily harm.
