Video from protest-watcher Caryma Sa’d shows an elderly man sitting on the curb after a scuffle broke out beside a bus on Sunday afternoon in the same area of North York. The man seems to say, “I’m OK,” in one of the videos as he’s being treated for multiple cuts on his legs and arms.
An earlier video shows the man involved in a scuffle before hitting the ground hard beside a bus as cars honk and people yell.
As of Sunday evening, there had been no details released by police about charges.
