Video posted to social media shows RCMP officers were physically assaulted and had rocks thrown at them by a large group of young men.
Surrey RCMP say they were responding to an unrelated call in the Newton area at 5:30 pm on Monday.
One RCMP officer had projectiles thrown at him by an individual. When the officer attempted to make an arrest, he was swarmed and beaten by the group.
Surrey RCMP spokesperson told Global news that the group was made up of 10 to 15 people, and had a "very hostile and oppositional reaction" to police being there.
“While he’s trying to arrest that young man for the assault, the child is being held onto by other youth that were there,” said Cpl. Elenore Sturko told Global News.
“Another [officer] comes to his assistance to help him make that arrest, and that officer—a female officer—was then punched in the head several times by some of the people in the crowd.”
No charges have been laid yet.
