A man has been arrested after a 76-year-old woman was pushed into traffic in what Winnipeg police are describing as an unprovoked and random attack this summer.
The victim had just left a business in the 600 block of Sargent Avenue on July 20, when police say a man “for unknown reasons” pushed her onto the street and into oncoming traffic.
“She suffered a serious injury and was transported to a hospital, where she remained for some time,” police said in a Friday media release.
