ASSAULT INVESTIGATION – ARREST   C13-187116
As previously released -On October 2, 2013 the Winnipeg Police Service released photos of a male suspect responsible for an assault on a City of Winnipeg Transit driver and requested the public's assistance in identifying him.
 
At that time, it was advised that on September 14, 2013 at approximately 12:30 p.m., members of the Winnipeg Police Service responded to an assault that just occurred involving a City Transit Bus Driver.
 
The investigation revealed that the bus was travelling eastbound on William Avenue when it stopped near Isabel Street and an unknown male suspect entered. The suspect failed to pay the required fare and began demanding a transfer from the 50 year-old male transit driver. It was at this time the suspect began assaulting the driver repeatedly causing non-life threatening injuries.
 
After approximately 2-3 minutes, two unknown males entered the bus attempting to intervene. One of those males was also assaulted by the suspect.
 
The suspect eventually exited the bus where a confrontation continued nearby involving the suspect and several unknown males.
 
The investigation continued by members of the Division 11 Crime Unit and Transit surveillance video of the incident was made available to the public.
 
Due to the assistance provided by members of the public, a suspect was identified. Our YouTube video of the assault was viewed more than 40,000 times.
 
Early this morning, District 3 members responded to an unrelated matter in the 200 block of Selkirk Avenue. It was at this time a 23 year old male was taken into custody and arrested due to his alleged involvement regarding the assault to the Transit driver.
 
He is currently in police custody and charges are pending.
 
The Winnipeg Police Service would like to thank the public and members of the media for their assistance in this matter.
 
Further details to follow.

Halloween Safety Tips
 

 

Winnipeg, MB- The Winnipeg Police Service and the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service are encouraging citizens to make Halloween a safe and enjoyable occasion.
 
Here are some general safety tips for everyone to consider:

  • Try to trick-or-treat when it is still light outside.
  • Wear a bright, reflective costume made of flame-resistant material.
  • Carry a flashlight, and use glow sticks, or reflective tape as part of your costume. Encourage children to stay away from open flames.
  • Ensure children know how to stop, drop and roll if their clothing catches fire.
  • Why not use make-up instead of a mask? Masks can shift and obscure vision.
  • To prevent falls, ensure costumes fit well and aren't too long and don't have too much loose material.
  • Have a responsible adult go trick-or-treating with you.
  • If someone older cannot go with you, trick-or-treat as a group.
  • Plan your trick-or-treat route ahead of time. Pick well-lit streets.
  • Stay on sidewalks, look left, right and left again to be sure no cars are approaching before crossing the street. Always cross the street at corners and crosswalks; never cross between parked cars or in the middle of the block.
  • If there is no sidewalk, walk facing traffic.
  • Never enter the home of a stranger.
  • Discuss with your children the route they will be travelling and what time they are required to return home.
  • Only eat treats that have been examined by your parents.
  • Choking occurs most frequently among children under two years of age, but can happen at any age. Eating while playing, running, jumping, or talking increases the likelihood of choking.
  • ATTENTION DRIVERS! Children will be very excited and their actions could be sudden and unpredictable. Exercise caution and Just Slow Down.

 Your home for Halloween:

  • Make sure your home is well lit, your yard clear and safe, and pets are secured so no harm comes to them or the children.
  • Dried flowers, cornstalks and crepe paper are highly flammable. Keep these and other decorations well away from all open flames and heat sources, including light bulbs and heaters.
  • It is safest to use a flashlight or battery-operated candles in a Jack-o-lantern. If you use a real candle, use extreme caution. Make sure children are supervised when candles are lit.
  • Be sure to place lit pumpkins well away from anything that can burn and far enough out of the way of trick-or-treaters, doorsteps, walkways and yards.
  • Remember to keep exits clear of decorations, so nothing blocks escape routes.
  • Children should not use knives or other sharp instruments to carve pumpkins.

 A safe and happy Halloween to everyone!
