Overview

• Sergio Yanes Preciado, 23, had been charged with assault causing bodily harm in the Aug. 8 attack on a 32-year-old Jewish father in a Montreal park.
• The court found he was suffering from a mental disorder at the time of the assault, leading to the not-criminally-responsible ruling.
• He remains detained at the Montreal General Hospital for psychiatric care following the decision.
• A widely circulated 28-second video showed the assailant spraying the victim with water, pushing him down, and punching and kneeing him before fleeing.
• The footage prompted swift condemnation from Prime Minister Mark Carney and Quebec Premier François Legault.
