A man has been arrested after allegedly stealing from an LCBO in Sarnia and assaulting a senior Red Cross volunteer as he fled the store.
Sarnia police responded to the LCBO on Quinn Drive at around 2:25 p.m. Saturday. Police say it was reported that a man had stolen two bottles of alcohol and fled the store.
As he was leaving, police say a volunteer collecting donations for the Red Cross tried to stop him. The 75-year-old man was pushed and then tripped by the suspect, causing him to fall and hit his head.
Police say the victim was taken by EMS to a local hospital where he had to get multiple staples to his head.
He was treated at Bluewater Health and has since been released to continue his recovery at home.
