Three men were involved in the assault, which was caught on video. Police then released the video in hopes of identifying the suspects, who they believe are all originally from B.C.
As a result of the overwhelming number of tips they have received, they have identified one of the suspects as Ronjot Singh Dhami, aged 25. His last known address is in Surrey. A Canada-wide arrest warrant has been issued for Dhami.

After a what police are calling a “cowardly act” was caught on camera, the investigation has now been extended into B.C.
On March 13, three men were caught on camera assaulting a 29-year-old autistic man at a bus terminal in Mississauga. Peel Regional Police released a video of the assault in hopes of identifying the suspects.
The victim was sitting on the stairs of the lower level of the bus terminal when he was approached by the three men. They then surrounded the victim and continued to punch and kick him multiple times before fleeing the area.
The victim was taken to local hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
After receiving numerous tips from the community, police say they are extending their request for assistance to British Columbians, as they now believe they are originally from the Lower Mainland area.
