VANCOUVER (NEWS 1130) – Two members of Transit Police had to be hospitalized after being involved in the arrest of a man, the force says, was on a violent tirade.

On Monday at about 8:35 p.m., officers got a call of a man smashing bottles at the Granville SkyTrain Station.

The suspect apparently went to the Stadium SkyTrain Station where he got into a fight with another man. Transit Police adds three bystanders stepped in to help, but two of them were punched in the face.

A pair of Transit Police officers showed up and got into a “violent struggle” in which one of them was pushed into a large piece of Plexiglas and thrown to the ground, banging her head on the glass and floor. The second officer continued the struggle, injuring his shoulder. More officers showed up and the man was arrested.

The officer who was thrown to the ground sustained a concussion. Both have been released from the hospital.

Matthew Kenneth Noble, 30, of Vancouver is known to police and has been charged with obstructing a police officer and resisting arrest.

“Transit Police have recommended further charges of assaulting a police officer and causing a disturbance. Noble has been released on an undertaking with release conditions of keeping the peace and be of good behaviour and abstain from alcohol outside [his] residence,” says Sgt. Clint Hampton.

Noble’s next court appearance is Jul. 11.
