  • Attack on 2 shopkeepers in Chinatown: VPD

A 50-year-old man has been charged with assault after what Vancouver police say was a violent attack on two shopkeepers in the Chinatown neighbourhood.

Police say the married couple, who are both in their 70s, were working in their shop last Thursday when the suspect entered and began causing a disturbance. 

The man was asked to leave, but instead, police say the couple was assaulted.

The suspect fled but police say the man was caught on security video and patrol officers picked him up not far from the scene on Saturday.
