A man is now wanted on a Canada-wide warrant in connection with an alleged attack on a woman in downtown Vancouver on Sept. 27.
Mohammed Majidpour, 35, has been identified by the public for what police believe was an attack on a 19-year-old woman that may have been racially motivated.
“Now that Majidpour has a warrant for his arrest, our next goal is to get back him into custody as soon as possible,” Const. Jason Doucette said in a release. “We are asking the public to have a good look at his photo and to call 911 if they spot him.”

Police said an Asian woman was walking near Dunsmuir and Cambie streets when a man she didn’t know hit her over the back of the head with a pole. The suspect used a racial slur, then fled the area as he continued making offensive comments, police added.
The woman was injured and required medical attention, however, the injuries were not life-threatening, according to police.
Majidpour is described as approximately five-foot-seven, 150 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. He is often unshaven, police said.
