A 26-year-old man is facing an assault charge after a person was allegedly grabbed and then seriously injured after they fell to the ground last month.
Police said they were called at around 1 a.m. on Oct. 29 about an assault that happened near Bathurst Street and Wellington Street West.
It’s alleged the man and the victim were having a conversation when the man grabbed the victim in a bear hug before they both fell off the sidewalk.
Officers said the victim hit their head on the road and sustained serious injuries which required hospitalization.
The man left the area after the incident.
Roman Kuk of Toronto is facing a charge of assault causing bodily harm. He’s scheduled to appear in court next month.
