A 20-year-old man is scheduled to appear in court today on a single count of aggravated assault in connection with a vicious and random act of violence in the capital city’s downtown.

A man who was doing pushups on the sidewalk suffered serious injuries after another man kicked him in the head and ran away.

The incident, which occurred in the early morning hours on October 10 was caught on video, and shared on social media.

RNC say Shane Mackey was arrested in St. John’s on Saturday.

He was held in custody to appear in court this morning.
