A New Brunswick Mountie testified he punched a woman in the face twice, but only because she had punched him while he tried to arrest her.
RCMP Cpl. Andrew Whiteway took to the witness box Thursday to testify in the New Brunswick Court of King’s Bench as part of his trial for aggravated assault.
“So when I have a hold of her with my left hand, and I go to grab my handcuffs … Ms. Gillis uses her right arm and struck me once with a closed fist somewhere in my lower mouth, lip area,” Whiteway told the court in Woodstock.
