“She was repeatedly punched and kicked in the face, and sustained multiple injuries that required medical attention at hospital,” Addison said.

“The suspect and victim did not know each other and had no prior interaction before the assault occurred.”

Bystanders who called police were able to give police enough evidence, including video, that led them to a residential building near East Pender Street and Columbia Street where a suspect was taken into custody around 12:30 p.m. with the help of a police service dog.

Massimo Rosario Falvo, 40, has been charged with assault and remains in custody.
