Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been reportedly served with a subpoena to testify in court in relation to a protest in which pebbles were thrown at him during his 2021 campaign tour in London, Ontario.

London police had charged the 25-year-old suspect, Shane Marshall, with one count of assault with a weapon for reportedly throwing gravel at Trudeau on Sept. 6, 2021. Marshall, who was president of the People’s Party of Canada’s Elgin Middlesex London riding, was relieved of his position after the alleged incident.
