Vancouver police are looking for someone who pushed a 37-year-old man from Surrey, B.C., into the path of a moving car.

The man was taken to hospital with serious injuries following the incident just before 10:30 p.m. PT after a concert at the PNE Amphitheatre in Vancouver on July 15.

According to a release from the Vancouver Police Department (VPD), two men had left the concert and were walking on the north sidewalk of East Hastings Street near Windermere Street when they briefly stopped to check on a young woman who appeared intoxicated.

The woman said she was fine, so the two men continued walking. Seconds later, they were confronted by an agitated man who had been walking behind the woman.

The man allegedly ran toward the men and deliberately pushed one of them into traffic on East Hastings. The man was struck and driven over by a white SUV travelling westbound.
