The 87-year-old victim was standing at the bus stop near Pender and Columbia streets, when a “stranger came up to him, made racist comments, then bear-sprayed him in the face,” police say.

Duncan was arrested a few days after the attack, however, the BC Prosecution Service has now approved one count of assault with a weapon against Duncan.

Police say a B.C.-wide warrant has now been issued, and anyone who sees Duncan or has information on his whereabouts is asked to call 911.
