An Oakville man has been charged with assault following a Boxing Day fight over a mall parking space.

The fight broke out yesterday afternoon in the parking lot of Square One shopping centre in Mississauga.

A video posted to Twitter shows two men grappling and taking swings. A small crowd begins to assemble in the packed lot, and another man in a grey jump suit approaches the men to break them apart.

The next shot shows one of the men wiping the blood from his nose and mouth area as four people in the area begin to walk away.

“I found out today why they call it Boxing Day, and it has nothing to do with getting good deals,” the man who shot the video says to the camera, adding, “I'm going home. I haven't even made it inside the mall yet.”

Peel Police also tweeted yesterday, “Officers at Square One arrested 2 parties in assault over a parking spot. Yes we said it “a parking spot”. We continue to search for #3.”

Salman Aziz, 38, has been charged with assault and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle.
