VANCOUVER A 44-year-old man has been charged in connection with a series of seemingly random assaults at SkyTrain stations in Surrey last month. Metro Vancouver Transit Police said three people were body-checked without provocation over a period of nine days, including one man who was subsequently choked unconscious. Everyone has the right to feel safe while using transit. Violence of any kind will not be tolerated, Sgt. Clint Hampton said in a news release Wednesday. The suspect s alleged actions could have had dire consequences for the victims and were completely abhorrent. The first incident happened at the Surrey Central SkyTrain Station on the evening of April 9, when a suspect allegedly attacked an attendant in what the victim described as a hockey check. The attendant managed to stay on his feet, police said.
