Suspect Arrested After Sucker-Punch Assault Outside Laval Daycare

The Canadian Press, 10 Aug, 2018 01:57 PM
    LAVAL, Que. — Police say they've made an arrest in a sucker-punch attack outside a Montreal-area daycare last month that was captured on surveillance video.
     
     
    In the video, a man is seen running up to the 46-year-old victim and punching him from behind in the face before fleeing on foot.
     
     
    The victim immediately drops to the pavement as a woman exits the daycare to yell at the suspect.
     
     
    A motive for the attack remains unclear and Laval police say the victim is still in hospital after the July 9 attack.
     
     
    Montreal police arrested a 26-year-old man Thursday in a vehicle they say had been reported stolen.
     
     
    Police say the suspect is expected to appear in court later today.
