Accused is a no show at sentencing hearing on assault and firearms-related offences
A 24-year-old man who pleaded guilty to assault and possession of an imitation firearms failed to appear for his sentencing hearing on Friday at the London Courthouse.
Randeep Singh entered his guilty pleas in this case in November.
He was arrested after a road rage type incident in the Mornington Avenue area in east London in September of 2022.
After his arrest, officers executed a search warrant and seized replicas at his home.
Singh was ordered and expected to show up for his sentencing hearing and when he didn't, Justice Brian White issued a bench warrant.
Singh's lawyer Robert Warren also removed himself from the case and requested to be off the record.

North Battleford councillor resigns after pleading guilty to assault
A North Battleford city councillor has resigned his seat after pleading guilty to assault last month. Ross MacAngus, who was re-elected for a second term on North Battleford council on Nov. 13, 2024, entered a guilty plea to a single count of assault at the Court of King's Bench in North Battleford last month. Battlefords RCMP said last year they received a report of a sexual assault in September 2024. After an investigation, a man from North Battleford was charged with sexual assault on Nov. 26, RCMP said. The City of North Battleford and its council issued a joint statement soon after, saying "transparency is one of the fundamental core values of the city." That statement said MacAngus had been charged with a criminal offence, but without a conviction there was no basis to remove him from council. Last month, the sexual assault charge against MacAngus was withdrawn after the councillor pleaded guilty to assault. Late Monday, the City of North Battleford said MacAgnus had resigned as councillor for "personal reasons." His resignation triggers a municipal byelection for the vacant seat. The byelection must be held within six months, and a proposed date for that vote will be brought forward at a council meeting in September, the city said. MacAgnus will remain a councillor until the end of this month. A sentencing hearing on his assault conviction is set for Sept. 4.

At around 1:30 p.m., police received several 911 calls about a fight on the platform at the Pie-IX station in the city's Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve borough. Police say the altercation started on a train and then spilled out onto the platform. The victim was 'struck several times on the upper body' by the suspect, who fled the scene before officers arrived, said Manuel Couture, a Montreal police spokesperson. The victim was sent to hospital with severe injuries and police fear for his life. No arrests have been made as investigators are on scene interviewing witnesses and looking at surveillance camera footage for clues. Trains did not stop at Pie-IX station from about 1:55 p.m. to about 3 p.m. as police were on scene investigating. Police did not release any further details.
