  • Burnaby RCMP officer assaulted

Burnaby R-C-M-P say multiple charges are being considered after a suspect reportedly assaulted a police officer and tried to take his firearm.

The Mounties say they received several reports around noon yesterday of a man attacking people, walking into traffic and attempting to open doors of parked and moving vehicles near Kingsway and McKay Avenue.

An officer found the suspect, who allegedly demanded the officer's weapon, lunged, and began to fight with him.

Police eventually used a Taser to subdue the suspect and take him into custody.
