vancouver police have arrested a suspect alleged to have hit a man repeatedly with a longboard in an unprovoked attack at a bus stop in marpole.
just before 9:30 a.m. on july 7, the victim was waiting for a bus near southwest marine drive and ash street when he says a man approached from behind, pushed him and ripped the headphones off his head.
vpd const. darren wong alleged that the man struck the victim several times with a longboard-style skateboard.
the victim ran away and called 911, and only had minor injuries to his forearm.
earlier this week, investigators shared a cellphone photo of the alleged attacker and asked anyone who saw the attack or recognized him to call police.
a 37-year-old man was arrested wednesday thanks to tips to crime stoppers. the suspect has been released with conditions until a later court date.
