Police said the incidents all unfolded in the city’s Fairview neighborhood between 6:30 and about 8:45 p.m. “Three violent attacks happened in close proximity to each other within a short period of time,” said Const. Tania Visintin in a press release on Friday. “At this time, investigators are trying to determine if any of the attacks are related.” Police said the attack at 6:30 p.m. reportedly occurred near the False Creek seawall, under the Cambie Street Bridge. Investigators said a 70-year-old man was knocked to the ground from behind and then “punched and kicked multiple times” by a man he did not know. About 45 minutes later, a 33-year-old woman walking her dog on a sidewalk near West 11th Avenue and Spruce Street. Police said she was approached from behind by a man she did not know and punched in the face. The third incident, which also involved a man the victim did not know, happened just before 8:45 p.m. A 23-year-old woman was walking near West Broadway and Alder Street when she was stabbed, police said. The woman’s injury was serious, but not life-threatening. After the latest incident, the suspect was seen going south on Alder Street. “Incidents like these leave victims with physical and emotional scars, but they also cause fear and anxiety throughout the community,” Visintin said. “We have investigators working on these cases since gathering evidence that will lead to the person or persons responsible and will share additional information regarding these incidents as investigations continue.” Anyone with information about the incidents is asked to call police at 604-717-2541.
