A suspect has been arrested following a vicious and high-profile attack on a man with autism in Mississauga, police say.
Peel police say that on Tuesday, March 13 at approximately 10:45 p.m., officers were called to the scene of a violent assault that occurred in the Square One bus terminal.
The victim of the assault has been identified as a 29-year-old man with autism.
The disturbing video shows three suspects punching and kicking the victim as he sits at the bottom of a flight of stairs changing his shoes. Police say the victim was taken to local hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
Shortly after the video was released, police said that evidence suggested the three suspects were from British Columbia.
Peel police say that on Friday, March 23, investigators–with the assistance of Windsor police–arrested and charged 21-year-old Parmvir ‘Parm’ Singh Chahil for aggravated assault in Windsor.
