Man charged with assault after attack on Jewish father in Montreal caught on video

MONTREAL — Montreal police say a 23-year-old man has been charged in the assault of a Jewish father at a park last week.

Sergio Yanes Preciado was charged with assault causing bodily harm, and appeared briefly before a judge from a detention centre in Montreal’s north end.

The Crown has objected to his release, and he is scheduled to return to court Wednesday for a bail hearing.

Police say the 32-year-old father was assaulted on Aug. 8 while he was with his young children in Dickie Moore park in the borough of Villeray—St-Michel—Parc-Extension.
