Ottawa police say a personal assistance officer is facing charges after he allegedly attacked a resident of a long-term care home.
Police say family members noticed “unexplained bruises” on the 87-year-old woman’s body, so they set up a camera in her room at the facility.
They say the family contacted police on March 28 after reviewing the footage.
Police did not describe the footage or nature of the alleged attack, nor did they name the long-term care home involved.
But they say they have arrested a 25-year-old Ottawa woman and accused her of assault.
Police said she appeared in court on Wednesday.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published on April 21, 2022.
