Police Arrest 54-Year-Old After Teen Assaulted at Guelph Bus Shelter

A quiet weekday morning at a Guelph bus stop took an abrupt turn when a dispute between two women escalated into an assault. Police later tracked down the suspect nearby, setting the stage for a criminal charge that now heads to court.

On December 19th, 2025, between 8:30am and 9am, an 18-year-old female victim was sitting in a bus shelter at a bus stop located near the intersection of Willow Road and Silvercreek Parkway North in the City of Guelph.

Also at the bus stop was a 54-year-old female who was known to the victim.

The victim thought she had misplaced an item in the bus shelter and began looking for it while she had her phone in her left hand.

The 54-year-old female then confronted the victim, accusing the victim of recording her and subsequently punched her in the face with a closed fist.

The victim left the area and contacted police.

At 11:53am, police located the 54-year-old female in a nearby residential building and she was subsequently arrested.

A 54-year-old Guelph female has been charged with Assault.

She will appear in court on February 6th, 2026.

The victim did not require medical treatment.
