Man arrested after two Vancouver stranger attacks over weekend
A Vancouver Police Department (VPD) patch is seen in Ottawa, on Sunday, Sept. 29, 2024. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Spencer Colby VANCOUVER — Police in Vancouver have arrested a man allegedly involved in two separate and unprovoked stranger attacks over the weekend. Vancouver police say both attacks happened in quick succession downtown on Sunday. They say a 40-year-old pedestrian was approached near Granville and West Pender streets around 11:30 a.m. by a stranger who pushed the pedestrian several times before walking away. The same person then allegedly approached a couple on Granville Street and 'violently threw' a 30-year-old German woman to the ground, resulting in minor injuries to the tourist. Police say witnesses chased down the suspect to a nearby lane and held him in place until officers arrested him. The 29-year-old suspect has been charged with assault by choking and two further counts of assault and remains in custody. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 5, 2025.

Vancouver officers cleared in arrest that led to suspect's broken wrist
A Vancouver Police logo is pictured on a vehicle in Vancouver, on Wednesday, Dec. 4, 2024. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Ethan Cairns VANCOUVER — British Columbia's police watchdog group has cleared Vancouver police officers of wrongdoing in the arrest of a suspect in a stranger attack that led to the man's wrist being broken. The Independent Investigations Office says in a report that there are no 'reasonable grounds' to believe the officers committed an offence during the arrest in New Brighton Park in October 2023. Officers were called to the park for a complaint that a man was stabbed in the arm with a pair of scissors by an unknown attacker. The report says police identified a suspect using witnesses descriptions and found the man nearby, but he was unco-operative and refused to comply with commands to put his hands up and get on the ground. Four beanbag rounds were fired at the suspect during the arrest, then the report says a police dog grabbed the man's arm and took him to the ground. The man received a broken wrist during the arrest and required surgery, but the report says officers were 'acting lawfully' with the threat level involving in a stranger attack with a sharp weapon. 'It could be dangerous for officers to approach the (suspect) and attempt to simply lay hands on them when a weapon was close at hand, and the (suspect) had recently used it,' the report says. 'It was both necessary and reasonable, in those circumstances, for the (suspect's) compliance to be obtained initially by the use of the bean bag gun and then by a police dog to bring them to the ground to arrest them.' This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 5, 2025.
