A man is recovering from “significant” but non-life-threatening head injuries after what police describe as an “unprovoked attack” by a stranger in East Vancouver.
Just before 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Vancouver police said the 58-year-old victim was standing by a bus stop at Kingsway and McKinnon Street when the suspect began yelling and acting “erratically.”
He attacked the man without provocation and walked away, police said in a Thursday news release.
