RCMP Seek Witnesses After Woman Badly Hurt In Assault At UBC's Vancouver Campus

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 08 Mar, 2019 06:47 PM

    VANCOUVER — A woman has been seriously injured after being attacked with a weapon while trying to intervene in a fight between a couple on the University of British Columbia's Point Grey campus.


    RCMP say in a news release that the woman was hurt Thursday after stepping into the altercation between a man and woman she didn't know.


    It happened at about 4 p.m., in a basement section of the Forest Sciences Centre complex and Mounties are appealing for witnesses.


    They say the injured woman was rushed to hospital and is expected to recover, while both the man and woman involved in the dispute ran from the area separately.


    The man suspected of using the weapon is described as six-feet tall, mid-20s and of Asian origin, possibly with scratches on the right side of his face and neck.


    Anyone who witnessed the fight or recognizes the suspect is urged to contact University RCMP.
