A man was arrested after allegedly spitting on a baby Friday (Nov. 18) afternoon during a random assault.
A mom and her baby boy were among a number of people waiting at a bus stop near Main and Broadway streets around 3 p.m. A stranger approached and began yelling at people to get out of his way.
As the mom moved her stroller to make room, the suspect allegedly stopped and deliberately spat into the stroller, hitting the 13-month-old child.
The mom immediately called police and patrol officers arrested him within minutes. The suspect, 59-year-old Glen Asselin, is well-known to Vancouver police and was taken to jail.
Asselin has now been charged with assault and remains in custody pending his bail hearing.
