Niagara Falls Police were dispatched to the Seneca Niagara Casino around 7am on February 17th after reports of an assault involving an employee.
Upon arrival, officers were met by a security officer at the casino who advised them that a white male came into the casino and began to act erratic around 5:30am. Casino staff were concerned for his well-being and called an ambulance to have his mental health evaluated.
While doing so, the security officer turned his back to the male who charged at him, striking him on the right side of his head. The security officer said the blow caused substantial pain on the right side of his jaw, a loose tooth, and disorientation.
The security officer wished to press charges and the male was taken into custody. He was transported to police headquarters for booking and processing where he was released with an appearance ticket.
No further information is available at this time.
