Vancouver – A man has been arrested and charged following a Vancouver Police investigation into an unprovoked assault on a senior in the West End’s Davie Village last month.

The 67-year-old victim was waiting at a bus stop near Davie and Thurlow Street around 2 p.m. on November 8 when he was allegedly assaulted by a stranger. Several witnesses called 9-1-1, allowing VPD officers to respond immediately and locate a suspect.

BC Prosecution Service has approved one count of assault causing bodily harm against 35-year-old David Keyler, who was arrested Sunday morning by Vancouver Police.

Keyler has since been released on bail.
