Police arrested the 15-year-old after a series of random attacks
A 15-year-old man was arrested after his alleged accidental attacks on three different people on the coastal wall near the Olympic Village this weekend.
Police called a 57-year-old man after he was allegedly attacked around 9:15 p.m. on Saturday, April 30. The man said he was chased, beaten and kicked while outside.
Officers arrived on the scene and found two other victims while searching for the suspects. Both were women who said they had been hit for no reason.
“Based on evidence gathered at the crime scene, police identified and arrested the teenager, who was still in the area. He was taken to jail, charged with three counts of assault and then released,” the VPD said in a press release.
They note that this is one of several violent incidents this weekend, including the city’s third murder in 2022 and fear of a bomb on the Vancouver marathon route.
