The Whistler RCMP says its investigation into a viral assault in the Whistler Mountain Bike Park last month is ongoing.

In the video, a man was seen aggressively confronting three teenagers on a bridge in the bike park, eventually throwing one of their bikes off a bridge.

Police received a report of the incident on June 28, said Cpl. Katrina Boehmer, media relations officer for the Sea to Sky RCMP, in a release on July 17.

“Our RCMP investigators are continuing to gather the facts of what occurred,” Boehmer said in the release. “We know that this type of behaviour is not tolerated by our Whistler Blackcomb partners, and we will continue to support them in ensuring the safety and well-being of all users of the Whistler Mountain Bike Park.”

The man in the video was arrested and released on conditions, with a date to appear in court. But the investigation continues.

"The Sea to Sky Whistler RCMP would like to speak with anyone who witnessed the event and has not yet spoken with investigators," the release said. "Anyone who has any information to provide can contact the Sea to Sky RCMP Whistler Detachment at (604) 932‑3044."

Vail Resorts said the man's pass has been suspended.

"We have revoked this guest's access to the WMBP, and their pass has been suspended,” a spokesperson previously told Pique. "We are committed to upholding a safe and respectful environment for all guests in our park.”
