The photo to the left shows the results after 5 hours at Vancouver General Hospital Emergency Dept. for treatment to stop bleeding and scans to the head after a daylight unprovoked assault, near Metrotown, Burnaby 6 and 1/2 hours earlier. After medical scans, and stiches to the face - the attending medical doctor stated that if my friend had been struck in the face 1/4 inch closer to his eye, he would probably have lost the use of the eye. He was forced to take a leave from his work for 3 weeks before the swelling subsided and he could chew food more normally.
We were assaulted by man shouting CHINA ... KILL ... DRUGS ... CHINA ... KILL ... DRUGS ... CHINA ... KILL... DRUGS" resulting in fractures in face, profuse bleeding from nose cut and chipped teeth of the man in the photo. I suffered a injured back & shoulder.
The injured man was in his 60s and I was in my 70s during this incident. We were standing by my parked car in a parking lot a few feet from the sidewalk.
Initially we thought the man heading towards us, down the street was chanting some sort of “rap”. But as we turned around to hear/see him more clearly, he was literally only about 4 feet away and swinging a metal stick over his head. He struck this writer on his back & shoulder, which caused me to turn and fall against my car. When I turned around and straightened up I saw that my friend was flat on his back on the ground after being struck.
A nearby group of seniors and children (20-25 feet away) who witnessed the attacks on the two men - were shocked and traumatized. in the photo below - you will see a younger man in his late 20s come out from the car he was sitting in and help chase the attacker away.

The other older senior suffered a injured shoulder & back - as he turned away by the force of the blow being hit with assailant's whirling metal weapon. Both men were examined and treated at Vancouver General Hospital Emergency Department.
