Hamilton resident Omar Abugalib has been charged with theft under $5,000, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, three counts of assault with a weapon, assault with intent to resist arrest and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle.
Halton Regional Police Service (HRPS) said two people were injured during an incident at a Fortinos’ grocery store at 2515 Appleby Line yesterday (Sept. 4) at around 2 p.m.
“We responded to what was a theft, and the person responsible produced an edged weapon or knife,” HRPS Staff Sgt. Peter Bishop said. “Other members of the public intervened prior to police arriving. I believe there was a minor injury that occurred when the citizens went to intervene. There was another party who had intervened who also received a minor injury.”
