  • B.C. man knocked unconscious by thrown egg: RCMP

NANAIMO, B.C. - Police say a man who was hit in the head by an egg thrown from a passing car two weeks ago in Nanaimo, B.C., continues to suffer the effects of the blow.

The RCMP say the unnamed man was standing at a bus stop when he was hit by an egg, knocking him unconscious.

The Mounties say the incident happened Feb. 25 at about 10:45 p.m. and the 37-year-old man has limited memory of what happened as well as "some difficulty with his thought process."

Police say in a news release that the man was standing with two friends on the street when the egg was thrown from a side passenger window of a small dark-coloured vehicle.

Const. Gary O'Brien says police believe the person who threw the egg probably didn't intend to cause injury and may have no idea of what happened to the man.

But O'Brien says the person and those in the vehicle need to call police and take responsibility.

Police say the injured man agreed to have a photo released that was taken as he was being treated, which shows a bloody cut on the right side of his forehead from his eyebrow to his hairline.
