VANCOUVER - A Vancouver police officer has been charged with assault for pushing a disabled woman to the ground in an incident caught on video.
Const. Taylor Robinson was charged after a three-month investigation of the incident by the New Westminster police department.
Robinson was among three officers on foot patrol in the city's Downtown Eastside last June.
The video shows the woman walking by the officers when one of them pushes her from the back.
The officer didn't help the woman, who was assisted by other people on the street as the three officers walked away.
Robinson, who's been with the Vancouver Police Department since March 2009, has been placed on administrative duty pending the outcome of his court case.
