Vancouver – Vancouver Police is appealing for public assistance, including dashcam and CCTV footage, following an unprovoked assault at a Marpole bus stop on July 7.
At approximately 9:25 a.m., a man was waiting for a bus near Southwest Marine Drive and Ash Street, when a male suspect approached from behind, pushed the victim, and ripped headphones that he was wearing off his head.
The suspect then allegedly struck the victim multiple times with a longboard-style skateboard. The victim managed to flee the scene while calling 911. He sustained minor injuries to his forearm.
Investigators are releasing a cellphone photo of the suspect and are asking anyone who witnessed the incident, or drivers who may have dashcam footage from the area on Tuesday, to contact the VPD non-emergency line at 604-717-3321.
The investigation remains active and ongoing.
