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.
