A 77-year-old woman was injured in an unprovoked stranger assault on Vancouver’s west side, according to a Vancouver Police Department news release.
The senior was walking near Cambie Street and West Broadway when she was intentionally shouldered and knocked to the ground by a man walking in the opposite direction at about 6:30 p.m. Monday, the news release says.
The suspect kept walking east on the north side of Broadway without saying a word or offering help. A witness called police and stayed with the woman until officers arrived. She suffered a cut to her head and was taken to hospital for treatment.
The suspect is described as a Black man with an athletic build, between 20 and 30 years old. He was wearing navy blue pants, a navy blue rain jacket with the hood up and dark coloured headphones.
Anyone who saw the assault or has dashcam, CCTV or cellphone video is asked to contact the Vancouver Police Department.
