On Aug. 23 at around 3 p.m., the suspect allegedly approached a group of youths on an OC Transpo bus, and assaulted and seriously injured one of them “without provocation.” He then got off the bus at Place d’Orléans and took another bus.

Police said Thursday evening the suspect had been identified.

He is scheduled to appear in court at a later date.
