posted (May 21, 2020)

A BDF soldier was caught on camera being manhandled by police - but what you see is only half the story.  

Police say the 21 year old volunteer soldier Ryan Santos had been in a fight with a civilian. It happened on a Westline bus passing Ontario Village shortly before 7:35 a.m. this morning when Santos allegedly punched 21-year-old Nigel Reyes in the face. 

That’s when SPU officers got involved - and took the soldier off the bus at mile 55 to subdue him.  

Reyes received injuries to his right eye which were later certified as harm. 

Santos was later charged with the crime of harm.
