A man is facing several charges after a child was struck with a baseball bat and a man on a bus was assaulted in Winnipeg's Unicity neighbourhood on Saturday, Winnipeg police say.
The man, 27, was on a transit bus parked on Portage Avenue, between Bedson Street and Buchanan Boulevard, when he approached and assaulted a 66-year-old man without provocation around 11:45 a.m. on Saturday, police said in a news release.
Police said the man wasn't injured in the attack, and the driver ordered the suspect off the bus.
The man then entered a retail store in the same block where he used a baseball bat he found there to assault a school-aged child, according to the release. Police said the man continued to hit the child until the father intervened.
Police said the man fled the store while staff contacted police.
The child was taken to hospital in stable condition and treated for injuries.
Just before 12:10 p.m., the suspect went to a nearby collision repair centre, where police say he stole the keys to a customer's vehicle.
Staff called police and the man was arrested without incident.
The suspect has been charged with aggravated assault, assault, and theft under $5,000, police say. He was detained in custody.
Police said the suspect did not know either of the people he is charged with assaulting.
