If youre against the Olympics there are much better ways to protest than through physical violence. It doesnt matter if it was a Milton resident who was on the receiving end of it, as its just plain wrong!
Torch bearer knocked down
Dec 28, 2009
A Milton woman carrying the Olympic torch in Guelph this morning was knocked down by a protester. Police say it happened as the 28-year-old woman was carrying the flame and was approached by a group of protesters just before 8 a.m.
She was treated by Olympic Torch Run medical staff at the scene.
The flame was not extinguished during the incident, which happened as about 1,000 people had gathered to watch the torch relay.
A Kitchener woman, 19, has been charged with assault and will appear in court in February.
