Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­Police are releasing a video of an incident that took place just before 5:30 p.m. at Granville SkyTrain station on March 1. A 61-year-old man had a brief interaction with two men in front of the station before one of them followed him into the entrance, according to a news release. 

After following the victim inside, the suspect allegedly pushed him down the stairs and then kicked him while he was laying on the ground before passersby intervened. 

Police say the suspect fled the area before officers arrived on the scene.

“Given the time of day and the location of the incident, we know there were people in the area who witnessed this assault,” said Const. Tania Visintin.  “We also know there will be people who recognize the man in this video, and we’re asking them for help to solve this crime.”

Police are looking for an Indigenous man in his 40s, with short black hair and a slim build. He was wearing a black rain jacket with a small white logo on the left chest, a white t-shirt, dark blue jeans, black running shoes and a red, white and blue ball cap.

“The victim suffered minor injuries and was treated on scene by paramedics,” added Visintin.

Anyone who has information or anyone who recognizes the suspect is asked to call investigators at 604-717-4022.
