BURLINGTON, ON May 24, 2012 It looks as if the Burlington detachment of the Regional Police are making it very clear that they will not put up with rowdy scenes in the “club” district along Harvester Road or the South Service Road part of town.
Way back in April there was an assault that sent a man to hospital with serious injuries. There was an argument between two patrons outside Club 54, at 3345 Harvester Rd., in Burlington at 2:30 a.m.
The victim, a 21-year-old Oakville man, was punched in the head by another unknown male resulting in injury to the victim. The assailant fled the scene on foot and police are seeking assistance in identifying him.
He was described as white in his early 20’s, 5’6 to 5’8, small build with an olive/dark complexion and shaved head. He was wearing a grey sweater, grey jacket and jeans.
The victim was transported to Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital.
And that’s where things stood – until May 20th , when a comprehensive investigation and some police with keen observation skills made an arrest.
Charged with assault causing bodily harm is Tariq HIJAZI, 24, of Hamilton
The accused will next appear in court on June 20, 2012.
