A 21-year-old woman has been charged with assault and public incitement of hatred in connection with an attack on a Black man in downtown Brandon, Man., earlier this week. Two women, ages 20 and 23, were arrested shortly after that and charged with several offences, including public incitement of hatred. It was the first time the incitement of hatred charge had been used in the southwestern Manitoba city, police said. The 21-year-old woman is in custody and will appear before a judge on Sunday, the release said.
