”It would be pure speculation at this point to try and determine why this person drove up on the sidewalk,” said Vancouver Police spokesman Cst. Brian Montague.

Surveillance tape from the lobby of a commercial high-rise captured the incident, which occurred just after 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, February 6.

About a dozen pedestrians are going about their business at the corner of Hornby and Dunsmuir when they suddenly begin to scatter in panic. Behind them, a newer-model Camaro rolls to a stop on the sidewalk as an apparent bystander runs at the vehicle and attempts to open the driver-side door.
