Kultar Singh Gill facing more charges in caught-on-video crash into Aldergrove community policing centre
The man accused of crashing a car into a Metro Vancouver community policing centre while a woman's legs hung from an open door has been charged with additional crimes.
Kultar Singh Gill is now facing four charges: one count of aggravated assault, one count of criminal negligence causing bodily harm, and two counts of failure to stop after an accident. The offences are alleged to have taken place in both Abbotsford and Langley on Oct. 29.
Gill, 44, made a brief appearance via video conference in Surrey provincial court Thursday. The courtroom was packed for his appearance, but no one was commenting outside the court.
Gill, also known as “Black Mamba” in the martial arts world, runs the Mamba Martial Arts Academy in Abbotsford.
The door to the business was locked when CTV News stopped by Thursday.
Two people who were outside a home in Abbotsford that’s listed as belonging to a Kultar Gill said they did not want to speak to CTV News.
Gill remains in custody. He has a bail hearing Nov. 15.
Langley RCMP, in a media release the day after the crash, said officers were called to the scene in the Aldergrove neighbourhood around 8:30 p.m. Sunday where they found bystanders assisting an injured woman.
The suspect, who Mounties say fled on foot, was arrested nearby and taken into custody.
The police have said "witness information has determined the incident may have begun further east on Fraser Highway," but have not released any additional information on what unfolded prior to the caught-on-video crash.
Police initially told CTV News the victims injuries were not life threatening, however Mounties would not provide an update Thursday on her condition.
The court file is a "K" file, a designation the BC Prosecution Service uses for crimes in which the investigation reveals the victim and accused are or have been in an "ongoing close and personal or intimate relationship."
