A couple has been arrested in connection with an assault on SkyTrain last month.
Transit police said on Sept. 20, a female SkyTrain passenger asked an unmasked man and woman sitting near her if they had a face covering, to which they replied, “What’s it to you?”
The female suspect allegedly knocked the woman to the ground, police said, and the pair then hit her before exiting the train at Metrotown station.
