She says he followed her on Pender near Cambie Street and pushed her to the ground in a parking lot. She says she started to scream and the man ran off.
The next day, around 2:30 a.m., a 26-year-old woman says she was standing on Cambie near Cordova Street where a man grabbed her and dragged her into the south lane. She also fought back, thinking he was going to sexually assault her. The man took off when a witness stepped in, trying to help.
