Knife attack in Nanaimo by a man wearing a bra on his head

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 15 Jul, 2024 03:44 PM
  • Knife attack in Nanaimo by a man wearing a bra on his head

Police in Nanaimo are looking for information after a man wielding two knives and wearing a bra on his head confronted another man walking his dog in a wooded area behind the Northfield Rotary Lookout Park.

R-C-M-P say the attacker swung the knives at the man, attempting to stab him, but the large dog lunged and bit him before the dog's owner used his martial arts training to incapacitate the other man and take control of the knives.

The Mounties are appealing for any information about the suspect.

He's described as a white man between 30 and 40 years old with shoulder-length brown hair, and police say he left the area with a red suitcase and mobility walker.
