Vancouver police are looking for the public’s help with an investigation of an assault Saturday that left a Burnaby man with life-threatening injuries.
The 64-year-old was walking along Euclid Avenue near Tyne Street in Vancouver at around 10 p.m., when he was attacked, according to a Vancouver Police Department press release.
The suspect ran off, police said, and the victim was rushed to hospital with life-threatening injuries.
A suspect was arrested later that evening.
He has been released pending further investigation.
Police said the victim and suspect were known to each other and there is no risk to the public.
The VPD are now urging anyone who was in the area at the time and might have information or dash-cam footage that could help with their investigation to contact police.
“This assault occurred in a busy neighborhood where we would typically see many people walking and driving in the area,” Const. Jason Doucette said in the release. “Anyone in the area around the time of the assault, especially with dash-cam footage, may unknowingly have information that is important to our investigation and we’d like to hear from them.”
Doucette said investigators would like to hear from anyone who has dash-cam video and was driving between 9:30 and 10:30 p.m.in the area bound by Tyne Street on the west, Aberdeen Street to the east, Crowley Drive to the north and Euclid Avenue to the south.
