Vancouver police say a 58-year-old man was significantly injured in an unprovoked stranger attack at an East Vancouver bus stop.
The attack happened just before 9:30 am on Wednesday at a stop near Kingsway and McKinnon Street in the Renfrew-Collingwood neighbourhood.
“A stranger began yelling and acting erratically, then attacked the man without provocation before walking off,” Sgt. Steve Addison said in a news release.

The attack left the victim with head injuries, and he was found by a passerby who called 911. He was taken to hospital and is expected to survive.
Police initially released information of a man seen leaving the area who was believed to a suspect, but have since ruled them out.
“Late today, VPD investigators obtained new information from the victim, confirming the man seen on video leaving the area was not involved in the crime,” VPD said.
The investigation is ongoing.
