Vancouver – A charge has been approved in a stranger assault investigation after the Vancouver Police Department (VPD) released video of an assault involving the same suspect last month.
Dylan Gaita, 29, has been charged with assault in connection with an incident on June 28 that was reported to police after the VPD issued an appeal to the public.
In the June 28 incident, a pedestrian was walking on Commercial Drive at Charles Street when Gaita allegedly shoulder-checked him, causing the pedestrian to lose his balance. The pedestrian reported the incident on July 4 after seeing the VPD news release issued on June 30.
Dylan Gaita remains in custody.
