REGINA – The manager of a seniors high-rise in Regina says he’s rethinking security after one of his tenants was attacked in front of the building on the way home from grocery shopping.
The 70-year-old resident had to go to hospital for a broken nose after he was punched in an argument over a cigarette.
Building manager David Ursu says he was in the lobby around 9 p.m. on Sunday when he saw a man stumbling up to the front door.
The man was so badly hurt, it took Ursu a minute to realize who he was.
The retired professor was just metres from the front doors when a man approached him and asked if he had a spare cigarette.
Ursu says the senior said he doesn’t smoke and told the man he shouldn’t either.
