CBC
The Liberal federal election candidate for Nickel Belt in northern Ontario was assaulted in his campaign office, and a 56-year-old woman was arrested and charged, Greater Sudbury police say.
Incumbent Marc Serré was in the office when the incident occurred Monday around 10 a.m. ET, police said.
A woman entered the office and began yelling at Serré and his staff. Police said she pushed a table against him, pinning him against the wall.
Serré recorded the incident with his cellphone, but the woman struck at his hands twice to swipe the phone away.
Staff asked the woman to leave the office. Police said she initially refused, but eventually left.
A while later, police said, the woman confronted Serré in his office parking lot and kicked the hood of his car while yelling at him.
The woman later tried to enter the campaign office to retrieve some of her belongings, but the door was locked. Police said she then kicked the door.
