Man charged with assault after dispute outside SaskTel Centre

A 63-year-old man turned himself in to police and is now facing an assault charge in connection with a dispute in the parking lot of SaskTel Centre.

The alleged assault took place April 2, following a WHL game between the Saskatoon Blades and Regina Pats.

Video of the incident was widely circulated on social media. The video showed a man throwing a baton used by one parking attendant and then kicking and shoving a second attendant.

According to police, the victim of the assault was 18 years old, and officers obtained and verified the footage of the incident.

On Monday, the 63-year-old turned himself in at police headquarters, police said. He’s now charged with assault.

A friend took this video at @SaskTelCtr today after the game. He was mad the road he wanted to take was closed (so that traffic flows more smoothly you idiot). 👍🏻 to the parking attendants…they really did keep their cool. Can’t wait to find out who he is. pic.twitter.com/UNZM2T9ey0
