Police investigating after man assaulted near Vancouver's Hinge Park
Police have released images of a bike and a backpack related to an assault that took place in Olympic Village in June. Police in Vancouver are seeking witnesses to a serious assault that occurred in Olympic Village two months ago. Officers and paramedics were called to the area of Hinge Park just after 4:20 p.m. on June 7 after a man reported being struck over the head, a statement from the Vancouver Police Department said Thursday. The man was found along a walking and cycling path near the fenced dog area of the park and was rushed to hospital with significant injuries to his head and face. Police believe there was 'some form of interaction' between the man and the suspect before the assault, the statement said. 'Unfortunately, the victim's condition is slow to improve, and his injuries will likely be life-altering,' said Const. Jason Doucette in the statement. 'Although the victim was found alone after the assault, we believe there were park users nearby who may have seen or heard something but didn't realize the seriousness of the incident at the time. We are asking those people to come forward.' Police have released photos of the victim's backpack and bicycle. Anyone who recognizes them, or has any other information regarding the incident, is asked to contact investigators in VPD's Major Crime Section at 604-717-2541.
