A 30 year old Dawson Creek man faces assault and mischief charges related to an attack on an employee at the Dawson Creek Walmart who asked the man to wear a mask.
RCMP say the attack happened yesterday and a review of surveillance tape helped them identify a suspect and arrest him at his home.
The employee received minor injuries but didn't need medical attention.
Police say they must enforce the provincial health order requiring masks in all indoor spaces and, with a few exceptions, anyone defying the order faces a 230 dollar fine, plus identical, additional fines if the person is abusive or belligerent.
