A 35-year-old man from Alberta has been charged with assault after a health worker at the Charlottetown Airport was pushed early Thursday morning.
Charlottetown Police say a man and a woman who were passengers on an incoming flight refused to go through the COVID-19 screening center at the airport.
They say the man allegedly pushed a health worker aside, bypassed the screening area, and left the airport.
The couple was later located by police and arrested.
The man has been charged with assault, while he and the 41-year-old woman with him were each issued a $1,050 fine in violation of the Public Health Act.
The man was released with conditions and is to appear in Provincial Court at a later date.
