Two men were victims of a serious assault near Vancouver’s bustling Olympic Village on Saturday evening, according to VPD Constable Tania Visintin. Both individuals are currently in critical condition after being rushed to the hospital.
The identities of the victims are still unknown as authorities investigate the circumstances surrounding the attack. The incident’s timeline remains unclear, but witnesses captured video and photos shortly after 6 p.m., revealing a police presence and cordoned-off area near the BREWHALL pub and Century Car Wash on East 2nd Avenue.
It is yet to be determined if the police activity is directly linked to the assault. Reports indicate multiple VPD officers were on-site, indicating a significant law enforcement response. Further details are pending as we await updates from the authorities.
