A 28-year-old tourist from New Zealand is recovering from what Vancouver police have described as an “unprovoked stabbing.”
In a media release, police said the man was on the corner of Nelson and Granville streets around 8 p.m. Wednesday when a man stabbed him from behind.
“From what we know so far, this attack appears to be completely random and unprovoked,” Const. Tania Visintin said in the release.
