Story from Nov. 30, 2015:
Metro Vancouver Transit Police are looking for two young women who they say are responsible for assaulting another woman at the Granville SkyTrain Station on Sept. 19.
At 12:25 a.m., two young women were caught yelling racial slurs and harassing non-Caucasian passengers on the lower area of the Granville Station.
Police say another woman politely asked them to stop, and was subsequently attacked by both women.
She was punched, kicked, knocked to the ground and grabbed by the hair. She managed to break free and left to call the police.
The two attackers then boarded a westbound train, heading to Waterfront Station.
Police say the victim suffered cuts and bruises, a black eye, and injuries to one arm. She was taken to hospital for treatment.
