A 37-year-old man has been charged in connection with a sexual assault inside a Niagara Falls attraction on Monday that sent a woman to hospital.
The Niagara Regional Police Service (NRPS) says the victim was exiting a bathroom at the Skylon Tower on Robinson Street when she was attacked from behind just before 8 p.m. on Dec. 26.
“The victim sustained minor physical injuries and was assessed at the scene by paramedics before being transported to a local hospital for treatment,” an NRPS spokesperson said in a release.
“She has since been released from hospital and continues to recover at home.”
The accused, from Niagara Falls, was arrested Thursday at a residence in the area of Morrison Street and Homewood Avenue.
Police say the investigation is ongoing and are still seeking witnesses.
Anyone with information can reach out to Niagara police or Crime Stoppers.
