A security guard working at Canadian Tire has been charged with assault following an altercation with a customer.
Regina police confirmed they were called to the 600 block of Albert Street on Tuesday evening. Officers charged a 20-year-old man with assault as a result of the investigation.
Ezekial Bigknife, 24, said he was the customer involved in the situation. He filmed the incident on his phone.
“I spent good money in that shop to get assaulted and to get followed around like I’m stealing,” said Bigknife, who suffered bruises to the face, neck and hand during the assault.
Cell phone video shows three employees, including the security guard, forcing Bigknife out of the store. At that point, his phone falls to the ground and yelling can be heard.
Bigknife claims the incident stemmed from two loss prevention employees following him around the store while he was shopping for truck parts.
“It’s just racial profiling, that’s all it is,” he said. “I’m through feeling uncomfortable. I shouldn’t have to.
