The video shows four or five people involved in a scuffle, with a woman on the ground next to them.
According to Burnaby RCMP, one group of golfers had “allegedly almost hit the other group with their ball on several occasions.”
RCMP says that was the source of the dispute.
“During the commotion, a female was pushed to the ground, causing minor injuries,” RCMP said.
Police were able to separate the parties and escort them off of the golf course. While Emergency Health Services did respond to the incident, no one was taken to the hospital.
“Several witnesses provided statements. It is unknown if charges will be forwarded at this time. The investigation is ongoing.“
Daily Hive has contacted Riverway Golf Course for more information.
