VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) -A father and son have been arrested after an assault on a female security guard at last night's Canucks game. The 24 year guard had been escorting the two men out of the arena after personnel were alerted to the pair's disruptive behavior.

Vancouver Police say the older man put his arm around the guard's neck grabbing her in a choke hold and dragging her to the ground as she was trying to escort his son out.
Constable Anne Longley says luckily the security officer was not seriously injured but was very shaken up by what occurred adding other guards quickly came to the rescue.

Garth Franklin has been charged with assault causing bodily harm, while his 22-year old son William Franklin has been charged with assault.
