Ottawa Redblacks suspend Chris Larsen amid investigation into possibly hate-motivated beating

Investigators say 24-year-old man was beaten and left with 'significant injuries'

The Ottawa Redblacks say they have suspended defensive lineman Chris Larsen amid an investigation into an alleged beating at the ferry docks on Toronto Island over the weekend.

"Late last night, we were made aware of social media allegations of an assault by a group of individuals that included Chris Larsen and immediately commenced an investigation, which is ongoing. Today we were advised that an investigation by the Toronto Police is underway," Mark Goudie, CEO of the Redblacks' parent company, Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group, said in a statement.  

Larsen was drafted in 2019 but hasn't appeared in a game with the team.

Toronto police, including the force's hate crime unit, are investigating after a man was reportedly beaten at the ferry docks on Toronto Island near Hanlan's Point on Saturday night.

According to a police news release, a 24-year-old man and a 27-year-old woman were walking to the ferry docks when they "became involved in a disagreement with a group of people."

That's when, police say, a man from that second group of people made homophobic comments toward the victims.

A woman from the second group grabbed one of the pair, police say. Then, two men from the group punched and kicked the 24-year-old man, leaving him with "significant injuries."

Was Larsen ever convicted? The Stamps haven't dealt with their own player (Pinto) with his sexual assault charges. They refuse to release him. At least the RedBlacks acted.

No.  The police exonerated him.  Just was spotted at the wrong place wrong time.
