A Surrey man was seriously hurt after he was pushed into traffic in Vancouver.

The 37-year-old was struck by a white SUV travelling west on East Hastings Street.

According to a news release by the Vancouver Police Department (VPD), the victim is “still recovering from serious, but what is now considered, non-life-threatening injuries”.

The VPD released dash cam footage of the incident as well as a sketch of the suspect in the assault.

The police are asking the public’s help to identify the suspect.

The VPD news release recalled that the incident happened before 10:30 p.m. on July 15.

The victim was with another man, and they had left a concert at the amphitheatre of the Pacific National Exhibition (PNE).

They were walking on the north sidewalk of East Hastings Street near Windermere Street when they 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,” according to the VPD.

The VPD stated that the man “allegedly ran toward the men and deliberately pushed one of them”.

The 37-year-old Surrey man was struck and driven over by a white SUV that was travelling west on East Hastings.

“Unsure of what had happened, the driver pulled over and waited for police,” the VPD stated.

The suspect is described as a Caucasian man in his mid-20s. The woman is described as Asian, 20 to 25 years old.
