A Hamilton, Ont., Canadian Armed Forces member who was assaulted while supervising a Remembrance Day poppy campaign on Nov. 1 has spoken about the incident publicly for the first time, saying he was slammed into a concrete pillar and lost the use of his legs immediately.
According to Hamilton Police, Capt. Kenneth Kunkel was supervising cadets outside a restaurant on Nov. 1 when two male youths allegedly approached and “blew a loud air horn directly into their ears.” Police said Kunkel sustained the injuries when he was assaulted by one of the youths and a woman who had not initially been involved in the dispute.
