Video shows ‘shocking’ moment angry man pushes complete stranger in front of oncoming traffic

Police ask suspect to turn himself in and release clip to help identify him

This is the shocking moment a man was shoved into the path of an oncoming car by a complete stranger.

Dashcam footage shows the victim falling into the road moments before he was struck at 50mph.

He was rushed to hospital in a serious condition and suffered a fractured right ankle and knee, road rash and a fractured shoulder.

Before the attack the man, who is in his thirties, was walking home from a concert at the PNE Amphitheatre in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

He was attempting to help a woman, who appeared to be intoxicated, when a man she was with became aggravated and pushed him.

The perpetrator remains on the run following the incident at around 10.30pm on June 15.

Vancouver Police Department detectives are attempting to identify the man, who is described as Caucasian, in his mid-twenties and around 6ft tall.

Constable Jason Doucette said: “This was a very rare and shocking incident.

“The victim has attended a concert at the PNE Amphitheatre and was walking... when he noticed a young woman in distress.

“He asked if she was okay and she said she was fine so he kept walking.

“This obviously upset the man who was accompanying her and he shoved the victim into traffic where he sustained serious injuries.”

Detectives on the case have released dashcam footage captured by the driver of the oncoming car and have released an appeal for information regarding this incident.

The Vancouver police department have also released a composite sketch of the suspect.

Constable Doucette said: “We are asking the suspect to turn himself in, but if he doesn’t, we are confident that someone will come forward to identify him and his friend.”

"Anyone with information can call detectives at 604-717-2541 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.”
