Man Faces Charges Following Recent Incident At Maple Leafs Game
A man from Ontario is facing serious charges following an incident over the weekend, part of which may have gone viral on some social media sites.
Police allege that a 31-year-old from Ancaster bit an officer and spat at members of security at the game between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Colorado Avalanche at Scotiabank Arena on Saturday night.
According to a statement from Toronto police, the incident occurred just before 10 pm when security attempted to check on the well-being of a man who then became confrontational with them. The man is accused of assaulting three security guards and a police officer who was called to the scene to make an official arrest.
This comes after a video started making the rounds on Sunday morning. The footage is from Scotiabank Arena and shows a man being arrested in a very rough manner.
While the police have not commented on the video, MLSE, the ownership group for the Toronto Maple Leafs, stated that it was aware of the video and was conducting a full investigation in cooperation with Toronto Police.
William Anderson is due to appear in court in Toronto to answer to the allegations on March 12.
