A New Zealand man who was stabbed in Vancouver last week is healing with family in Yukon and plans to continue his three-month tour of Canada.
Twenty-eight-year-old Jamie Hallowes says he was on his way to withdraw cash downtown when someone approached him from behind and stabbed him twice.
One wound required stitches, but Hallowes says the experience hasn't tainted his impression of Canada, and he plans to continue on to Alberta in the coming weeks.
Vancouver police have confirmed that a visitor from New Zealand had been the victim of a random, unprovoked attack, with a suspect described as a man standing about five-foot-five, wearing a white T-shirt, dark jeans and a baseball cap.
