North Vancouver RCMP is looking for witnesses to an unusual incident that resulted in serious injuries to a woman riding a bike earlier this summer.
The situation unfolded around 2:40 p.m. on July 10, on the Spirit Trail in North Vancouver.
According to Mounties, the woman was shoved off her bike after an unknown passerby was directed by a man claiming to be an off-duty police officer to stop her.
“We are aware that there were multiple people who witnessed the incident and interacted with the man who claimed to be a police officer,” North Vancouver RCMP Const. Mansoor Sahak said.

The woman, an elderly female, suffered serious but non-life threatening injuries, Sahak said.
Police are asking the person who pushed the woman to come forward. Sahak said police believe they thought they were following a lawful order, but that police want to speak with them.
They’re also working to identify the person impersonating a police officer, who Sahak said was with their family at the time of the incident.
Anyone who witnessed the incident is asked to contact North Vancouver police at 604-969-7506.
