Police arrested a woman who assaulted an 89-year-old man in Chinatown in Vancouver, Canada.
The senior was walking alone along Main and Keefer streets in Chinatown when he was approached by Patricia MacDonald, 58, who knocked him to the ground at around 10:45 a.m. on Aug. 13, according to the Vancouver police.
“Another sickening assault in Chinatown, this time on an 89-year-old senior out for his walk,” Deputy Chief Const. Howard Chow told Global News. “A police officer patrolling in the area arrived seconds after and arrested [a] woman.”
The 89-year-old man, who reportedly lives nearby, suffered minor injuries such as cuts and scrapes.
Investigators believe the attack was unprovoked, noting that the victim did not know the suspect.
MacDonald has been charged with assault and released from custody by the court, according to police.
Vancouver Police Department officials said patrols in Chinatown have been increased in response to the community’s concerns regarding hate incidents, rising violence, graffiti and street disorder from the Downtown Eastside.

Evidently Canada now has the same approach to jailing violent criminals as does the United States.
It is extra sick that the scum doing this are increasingly of elder age themselves. We expect it from low-life “youth”.
Forget it, Jake.
We went to Nelson, British Columbia for a quick get-away last week. It’s in the southeast corner of BC. I was appalled at the bums and druggies all over the place and the amount of graffiti on so many buildings. It was like returning to the urban areas of California.
I was not very comfortable walking from a downtown restaurant one evening around 9 pm to our hotel six blocks away.
All-in-all, though, it’s a gorgeous town. The downtown area has not been touched by development very much since it was built out 100 to 120 years ago, buildings have been well preserved, and there were no vacancies in the downtown area. Hotel Hume where we stayed was wonderful — it was like stepping back to 1910. The building has been impeccably renovated, the two restaurants serve wonderful food, and the people working there were as friendly as can be. Highly recommended!
She obviously isn’t white because she’s already been released.
Powder keg my friends. Waiting to go off. Think let them eat cake.
“Evidently Canada now has the same approach to jailing violent criminals as does the United States.”
She might have been released to the US.
