WEST VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – West Vancouver Police are looking for two men who apparently used their BMX bikes as weapons.

Officers were called around 10 o’clock last night to Whonoak Road near Welch Street.

According to a witness report to police, a man was lying, apparently incapacitated, on the road, when two others road over him. Police say one of the riders then returned, picked up his bike, and hit the victim on the head with it.

Constable Jeff Palmer says victim doesn’t remember what happened.

“Because of his incapacitation, [he] recalls falling. We don’t have information of how long he may have been on the road before our complainant comes along and witnesses the individuals riding over the victim.”

The two men rode away. The 57-year-old victim was taken to hospital for treatment; he was released this morning.

Palmer calls the attack bizarre and disturbing. “[There’s] no indication suspects were known to the victim. Really, at this point, there’s nothing to indicate what could possibly motivate the assault.”

The suspects are believed to be in their twenties. Witnesses say they were both wearing black hoodies covering most of their faces and blue jeans at the time of the assault. One of the men may have facial hair.

If you have any information, you’re asked to call West Vancouver Police at 604-925-7300.
