Man charged in ‘one-punch’ assault in Vancouver

By

VANCOUVER (NEWS 1130) – A 23-year-old man from Coquitlam has been charged in connection to a one-punch attack on Smithe Street in Vancouver back in October. The attack left the victim with permanent life-altering injuries.

In the early morning hours of October 25th, a 34-year-old man was making his way home with his wife after a night out with some friends downtown. They walked past two groups of men when he became involved in a fight over hiring a limousine.

The victim was punched and when he fell, he struck his head on the concrete, causing severe injuries and ultimately brain damage.

The suspect was arrested at his home in November and now Crown Counsel has approved one charge of aggravated assault.

Due to a publication ban, we can’t name the person who has been charged.
