A man has been arrested related to a bear spraying incident on a Saskatoon transit bus earlier this month. At around 6 p.m. on June 10, police learned a man had been bear sprayed on a city bus. Investigators found the suspect had reportedly verbally confronted a man on the bus before bear spraying him and fleeing the scene. Saskatoon police say they were able to identify the suspect through surveillance video of the incident. After a warrant was issued for his arrest, the suspect turned themselves in at Saskatoon police headquarters. The 21-year-old accused was charged with assault with a weapon and mischief under $5,000.
