Arrest made after violent attack on woman at Calgary train station caught on camera

From Global News.

Calgary police say a 31-year-old Calgary man has been charged with attempted robbery after video was posted to social media showing a woman being assaulted on a CTrain platform near city hall on Sunday.

In a statement on social media, police say the woman was standing on the CTrain platform on the south side of 7 Avenue when she was approached by an unknown man who grabbed her water bottle and splashed her face with it, before grabbing and shaking the woman while demanding her cellphone.

After a few seconds of shaking the woman and pushing her against the glass of the CTrain shelter, the video shows the man released her and fled the area — without her cellphone, according to police.

The victim then called police and officers located the suspect in the East Village area of Calgary about 25 minutes later with help from witnesses.

As Craig Momney reports, the video has left some Calgary Transit riders feeling nervous.
