Officers say the man in the video was stopped because he skateboarded through a red light. CTV News Barrie reports that the man was ticketed, and skateboarded away while yelling profanities.
That's when the officers allegedly stopped the man again, and the incident that was caught on camera began.
Stamp has been charged with assault and assault with a weapon. He will appear in court in Barrie on June 7.
