Peel Regional Police have arrested a man wanted on a Canada-wide warrant in connection with a violent attack on an autistic man at a bus terminal in Mississauga, just west of Toronto.

Police said 21-year-old Parmvir Singh Chahil was arrested in a Windsor hotel and charged with one count of aggravated assault.

Hardip Padda, 44, and Harmanvir Chahil, 18, of Windsor were also arrested and charged with accessory after the fact.

Authorities said the incident, which they described in a statement as “vicious” and “violent,” happened at around 10:45 p.m. on March 13.

A Canada-wide warrant remains for 25-year-old Ronjot Singh Dhami, whose last known address was in Surrey, B.C.

The third person allegedly involved in the incident has not yet been positively identified, but police say he might go by the first name of Jason.
