North Vancouver RCMP are looking for witnesses and dash-cam footage to further their investigation into an unprovoked assault.
On Friday, September 19, 2025, at approximately 5:30 a.m., North Vancouver RCMP responded to a report of an assault near the intersection of Marine Drive and Bewicke Avenue in North Vancouver. It’s alleged that a female and her partner were waiting for a bus on the northwest corner of Marine Drive when a male suspect walked across the street and, without provocation, punched the victim in the face.
The victim suffered injuries as a result of the assault but did not require hospitalization. North Vancouver RCMP officers immediately responded and conducted extensive patrols for the suspect, which unfortunately were unsuccessful in locating him. Officers also conducted an extensive CCTV canvass in the area.
The suspect is described as 5 feet tall, thin-built, wearing a gray hoodie and black jeans, with shoulder-length hair.
“This was a shocking and distressing incident for the victim, and we recognize the impact it can have on a person’s sense of safety,” said Corporal Mansoor Sahak, Media Relations Officer for the North Vancouver RCMP. “We are committed to identifying the suspect and are asking anyone who was in the area of Marine Drive and Bewicke Avenue between 5:15 a.m. and 5:45 a.m. on September 19, or who may have relevant dash-cam or surveillance footage, to come forward.”
Anyone who witnessed the incident or has video footage is asked to contact the North Vancouver RCMP at 604-985-1311 and quote file 25-19906.
