Police are stymied and again appealing to the public for help after finding a severely injured 82-year-old man in Stanley Park last November.
Just after 2 a.m. on Nov. 16, police were called to the parking lot north of the Brockton Oval, where they found the Vancouver man behind the wheel of his 2011 grey Toyota Corolla.
The 82-year-old was suffering from serious injuries and subsequently was rushed to hospital. He is still in hospital and VPD Const. Jason Doucette said he is expected to make a full recovery.

“It’s not clear what role, if any, he played in the assault,” Doucette said.
“We believe someone is going to recognize him from the video, and we need them to call us and help solve this mystery.”
Doucette said the man is not considered a suspect. Investigators would like to speak to him and anyone that was in Stanley Park during the early morning hours of Nov. 16, as well as anyone who may know the identity of the man in the video.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the VPD’s Major Crime Section or Crime Stoppers.
