Police say a woman was attacked by a stranger outside of the Vancouver Art Gallery on Friday morning. In a release, the Vancouver Police Department said a 27-year-old woman was walking on the West Georgia Street side of the gallery at around 10:30 a.m. when “an unknown man allegedly kicked her in the upper arm and punched her in the upper body without warning.” “Several concerned bystanders intervened to stop the attack, causing the suspect to flee westbound on West Georgia Street,” police said. The VPD said the woman was not injured. CCTV captured the suspect, and police released an image of him Monday morning in hopes someone would recognize him. Patrolling officers found and arrested a man matching the suspect’s description on Monday at around 2 p.m., the VPD said. The man has since been transported to jail, and police said the incident remains under investigation.
