After a random BB gun attack near Kingsway and East 17th Avenue on Thursday night, the Vancouver Police Department (VPD) is seeking witnesses to identify the suspect. 

The victim was leaving Sunnyside Park around 7:30 p.m. when he felt a stinging sensation in his left calf and believed he had been struck by a BB pellet.

He turned around and saw a man wearing a face covering and a hoodie sitting on a bench. The victim believed the man was responsible for the random BB gun attack.

The victim told the man he was calling 911 and, after an altercation between the two, the suspect left the area.

Police said the suspect is described as being about 50 years old, five feet 10 inches tall and of medium build. He was wearing a face covering, a dark hoodie, a construction tool belt and tan cargo pants.

Officers searched the area but were unable to locate the suspect.

The VPD is asking anyone with information or CCTV footage to call the non-emergency line at 604-717-3321.
