Burnaby RCMP is searching for a suspect accused of tripping an 84-year-old woman last month.
It happened on April 3, on Central Boulevard near Metrotown Skytrain Station in Burnaby.
Police say the female suspect approached the senior and tripped her, knocking her to the ground.
Mounties have released a video which shows a woman approaching a senior, who is using a walker, from behind. The woman appears to then kick the senior’s legs out from under her, and then walk away.
The victim was shaken, but not seriously hurt, according to RCMP.
The suspect is described as possibly Asian, with dark brown hair. She was wearing a face mask at the time, black tights, a long puffy jacket and light-coloured shoes.
She was also carrying a beige purse.
