Transit Police has arrested a 41-year-old man after an alleged cell phone robbery.
The incident happened on Wednesday, November 27, when the man wrestled a woman walking past King George SkyTrain Station to ground as he tried to grab her cell phone.
A brief struggle ensued and the suspect pushed the victim to the ground while straddling her at the waist, transit police said.
As the suspect walked away with the cell phone, the victim followed him to try and get her cell phone back. The suspect then pushed her into nearby bushes before running away.
Later, the Surrey RCMP found the cell phone with a man whose description matched the one provided by the victim.
Transit Police took custody of the man. A 41-year-old man named Aaron Sutherland, of no fixed address, was arrested and charged with one count of robbery.
He is known to police.
He has been remanded into custody and he will appear in court on December 11 at 9:30 am in Surrey Provincial Court.
