Man charged in 4 separate assaults since July, Vancouver police say

A man charged after an attack on a fast food worker last month has been charged again, in another disturbing assault on a stranger.

A 24-year-old man charged with assaulting a cook at a Vancouver restaurant earlier this year is facing additional assault charges, according to online court records.

Vancouver police issued a news release Friday about Jaxon Andre Carter, who they said has been charged in connection to “an alleged assault involving a family with young children downtown” back in December.

Court records indicate a charge of assault was laid against Carter on Jan. 28 in connection to the incident, which took place Dec. 21, 2025.

The Vancouver Police Department said the family was crossing at the intersection of Burrard and Georgia streets with two children in a stroller when a man they didn’t know shoved the stroller.

When confronted, the suspect punched the father in the face, police said, adding that he was arrested and taken to jail and has since been released.

The Dec. 21 assault is one of four Carter is scheduled to make appearances for at Vancouver’s Downtown Community Court on March 3.

The most recent of the assaults happened Jan. 12, when Carter allegedly attacked a fast food cook who had refused to add free bacon to his burger.

That incident took place at Fatburger on Granville Street, and happened just two days after Carter had been released on bail after a previous arrest.

The Fatburger assault left the victim with a “serious facial injury” that required hospitalization, police said at the time.

Carter was charged with one count of assault causing bodily harm in that case.

Another count of assault causing bodily harm was laid against Carter in August 2025, following a July 2025 incident in which he allegedly attacked and repeatedly punched a security guard at a bus loop in Coquitlam.

Finally, another count of assault was laid against Carter on Jan. 23, for an incident that allegedly occurred on Dec. 5 in Vancouver.

Asked about that incident Friday, VPD spokesperson Const. Megan Lui provided few details, saying only that it took place downtown and involved a security guard.

“This is why we are sharing this information with the public,” Lui said. “This is alarming coming from one individual, having all these assaults happen in a short period of time.”

While Carter has been charged with a total of two counts of assault causing bodily harm and two counts of assault across the four separate incidents, he is not in custody, according to court records.

Police said he was released with conditions after the Dec. 21 arrest.

“Our police officers are very familiar with Jaxon Carter,” Lui said. “As police officers, we’re doing what we can do, and it’s up to the court system (to decide whether to grant bail).”
