A man in New Brunswick has been arrested for assault after police accused him of coughing in someone’s face.
Officers from the Kennebecasis Regional Police Force were called to a home in Rothesay yesterday morning after reports of a threat being issued.
When they arrived, they found the occupants involved in a “dispute over two people who were not properly self-isolating after recent international travel.”
Police added: “One male was arrested for assault [for] purposely coughing in someone’s face while feeling ill, and uttering threats.”
Officers said the behaviour was “irresponsible and needless” and called on people to “respect the health and safety of all individuals.”
