The video appears to show a man cornering another man in an alcove while holding a knife. It then shows the two appearing to wrestle, attempting to hit one another in the street.

Cst. Jason Doucette says although a witness called 911 to report the incident, the victim shown in the video has not come forward.

“We’d like to hear from the victim to provide support and learn more about what happened,” he said.

Police say it appears neither of the men shown in the video was hurt.

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call the VPD at 604-717-8966 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
