Hamilton Police have made an arrest after a series of violent incidents over the weekend.
Investigators say just before 8 p.m. on Saturday, a man went into a Hasty Market on John Street South near Charlton Avenue East and assaulted an employee with what they are describing as a baton or pipe.
Shortly after, police say the same man went into the City Mart located on King Street just across from Gore Park and again, assaulted an employee with a baton before taking off on foot.
Police say he then went down King Street, and assaulted a bystander, who was seriously injured and taken to hospital.
