Vancouver police say a man has been charged in an alleged unprovoked attack on a 70-year-old man last week.
Police say the attack happened as the victim was walking near Homer and West Pender streets around 3 p.m. on May 16.
The suspect allegedly knocked the man to the ground, causing him to hit his head, before walking away without offering any help.
