A Surrey man who allegedly punched a woman in the face at a youth soccer game last month has been charged with assault. The charge comes after a dispute among parents broke out on the sidelines of the soccer game at Ambleside Park in West Vancouver March 16 at around 6 p.m. According to West Vancouver Police, the spat erupted after a parent picked up a game ball that had rolled out of bounds. The fight escalated and a 45-year-old woman from North Vancouver was punched in the jaw. The accused, a 42-year-old man, was arrested and released on a promise to appear in North Vancouver provincial court.
