LANGLEY – A 23-year-old Langley man has been arrested and charged with multiple counts for an alleged assault motivated by hate that happened last week in Langley.
Langley RCMP spokesperson Corporal Mansoor Sahak says police received a report last Tuesday, Oct. 20, at approximately 3:30 p.m., from multiple witnesses about an assault on a mother and her child by a man near Douglas Park in Langley City.
Cpl. Sahak says it is alleged that a 23-year-old man assaulted the mother and her two children and uttered racial slurs. Police say multiple witnesses observed the incident and contacted the police. The suspect fled prior to police arrival, Cpl. Sahak said.
On Wednesday, Oct. 21, officers from the Langley RCMP’s Special Response Team arrested a man closely matching the description of the suspect, who was held in police custody to appear before a judge, Cpl. Sahak said.
