Warning Violence: Police release video of stranger attack | Vancouver Sun
Vancouver Police have released security video of an unsolved attack on a woman on New Year’s Eve, and ask anyone who can identify the suspect to come forward.
“This video clearly shows the unprovoked and random nature of this disturbing attack,” says Constable Tania Visintin. “Unfortunately, these types of incidents are happening more often in the city, and it’s led to many people feeling less safe when they’re alone in public.”
The victim, a 22-year-old woman, was walking along West Georgia Street in front of Hotel Georgia when she was suddenly grabbed by a man, walking in the opposite direction on December 31 at around 3:30 p.m. She was thrown against the exterior wall of the hotel and held down.
