Following his arrest, police said Wiens was transported to jail.
The arrest stems from an assault on Oct. 13. The 93-year-old victim was walking to a bakery near Main and East Pender streets around 3:15 p.m. when he was knocked to the ground by a stranger.
The elderly victim, who has lived in the neighbourhood for 30 years, required hospitalization for a broken hip.
Vancouver police have not said if the attack was racially motivated.
