Eldridge was working for Lapper Security at the time. Speaking to CFJC Today‘s Chad Klassen more than two months after the incident, Eldridge alleged the man in the red jacket had pushed him and spat in his face prior to the altercation. Eldridge said the incident took place after months of abuse at the hands of the street population along Victoria Street West, including the man in the red jacket.

Fallout from the incident included Eldridge having his license revoked by the province pending investigation.

At the time Eldridge spoke to CFJC Today, he believed RCMP were not pursuing charges against him.
