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.

Officers searched the Renfrew-Collingwood neighbourhood Wednesday but could not find the suspect. T

Anyone with information on his identity is asked to call the Vancouver Police Department at 604-717-4034.
