Halifax taekwondo coach suspended after student disciplined with cane
HALIFAX — A Halifax taekwondo coach has been suspended after a 17-year-old student was struck with a cane as discipline.
Halifax police say they investigated a report of an assault at Woo Yong’s Taekwondo Academy in January, and determined an instructor had disciplined a student with a cane.
“The youth did not require any medical attention and did not he suffer physical injuries,” said Const. Carol McIsaac.
She said police closed their probe on Feb. 4 with no charges being laid.
