VIDEO: Toronto police arrest 26-year-old man after roundhouse kick at anti-abortion rally

Toronto police have arrested a man after he was caught on video performing a roundhouse kick on a woman at an anti-abortion rally.

Investigators explained a man approached demonstrators at a peaceful rally in the city’s west end last Sunday and “began scribbling on their signs and clothing” with ink markers.

When he was confronted by a protestor, police mentioned the man kicked her in the shoulder, knocking her phone from her hand. A video of the incident has been viewed more than two million times since it was posted on Youtube on Tuesday.

They say he then ripped off the woman’s ribbon before fleeing the scene.

Twenty-six-year-old Jordan Hunt turned himself in on Saturday and has been charged with eight counts of assault and seven counts of mischief.

He’s also been charged with assault in an incident at another anti-abortion protest in early August, where police allege he pushed a woman into a pole.
