Authorities in Vancouver are currently conducting an investigation following an unprovoked attack on a senior citizen in the city’s Fairview neighborhood. The incident occurred on Monday evening while the 77-year-old victim was walking near Cambie Street and West Broadway at approximately 6:30 p.m. She was deliberately bumped into by a stranger walking in the opposite direction, causing her to fall to the ground.
The Vancouver Police Department reported that the assailant, described as a young adult between 20 and 30 years old wearing navy-blue pants, a navy-blue rain jacket with the hood pulled up, and dark-colored headphones, callously walked away without offering any assistance or uttering a word.
Fortunately, a Good Samaritan witnessed the attack, promptly contacted the authorities, and stayed with the injured senior until help arrived. The victim was subsequently taken to the hospital for treatment of a head injury.
Police are urging anyone who may have information or video footage related to the incident to come forward and contact the Vancouver Police Department.
