Two Winnipeg Transit supervisors were assaulted while checking on a sleeping passenger aboard a bus over the weekend.
The incident happened around 5:30 p.m. on Saturday near Fort Street and Graham Avenue. When the man was awakened, he became aggressive and attacked both supervisors. Police officers arrived and took the man into custody while he was still struggling with staff.
The supervisors, who are designated as special constables under Manitoba’s Police Services Act, sustained minor injuries and did not require medical treatment.
Diego Porteous-Jelders, 23, has been charged with two counts of assaulting a peace officer and remains in custody.
