On April 20, 2023, an unknown man assaulted an 89-year-old woman at Metrotown by shoving her to the ground. The victim was transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The same man assaulted two other people in the mall before leaving the area.

We don’t want this suspect to harm anyone else, so please have a look at these photos, said Cpl. Mike Kalanj with Burnaby RCMP. If you recognize this man, we’d like you to contact our investigators.
