  • Tourist randomly assaulted near Canada Place

Vancouver police say charges have been laid after a tourist was randomly assaulted near Canada Place last Sunday. 

The V-P-D say a woman visiting Vancouver was walking near Canada Place's cruise ship terminal Sunday morning when a stranger repeatedly punched and kicked her. 

Police say the woman sustained a number of injuries in the attack and had to go to hospital for treatment. 

The V-P-D says they were able to find the suspect quickly thanks to witness reports and video evidence, and the 30-year-old man now faces one charge of aggravated assault.
