“He took himself to hospital for non-life-threatening injuries,” says police.
“From what we know so far, this attack appears to be completely random and unprovoked,” says Constable Tania Visintin.
“Investigators are looking for a man about 5’5” tall, with a medium complexion. He was wearing a white t-shirt, dark jeans, and a blue baseball cap.”
The VPD say no one has been arrested yet and the investigation is ongoing.
