VANCOUVER (NEWS 1130) – The Vancouver Police Department is looking for help identifying two people who may have information about a serious assault on a man in a wheelchair that happened in early July.
The man was found in the underground parking lot of an apartment building around Cecil Street and Kingsway on July 4. The 44-year-old, who uses a motorized wheelchair, was rushed to hospital with serious injuries.
Take a look at the images below. The pair are believed to be linked to the assault of a man in a wheelchair in the Collingwood neighbourhood earlier this month. He sustained serious injuries. Here’s the original story I did https://t.co/3EIigTbxXw https://t.co/Knq3evK889

On Wednesday, police released images from surveillance video in the Collingwood neighbourhood that show two people they believe have information about the assault.
Police are looking for a man and a woman. The man is described as blonde, slim and Caucasian. He was wearing a jean jacket, a shirt with an “O” on the front, and black shorts and flip flops. He had a black baseball cap on.
The woman is also described as Caucasian, with a medium build and orange or blonde shaggy hair. She had on a black crop top and camouflage capris, with a red jacket and sandals.
They’re hoping anyone who was in the area or has dashcam footage will be able to help with the investigation.
