Nanaimo beating caught on surveillance video leaves man in hospital – BC


Nanaimo RCMP is hoping the public can help them find a suspect following what appears to be an assault on Tuesday morning.

The victim was left with serious injuries and is receiving hospital care.

Surveillance video was shared with Global News and handed over to the RCMP.

“This is just a senseless assault that put somebody in the hospital with potentially life-altering injuries and will be treated accordingly,” Nanaimo RCMP Const. Gary O’Brien told Global News.

It shows a small gathering outside a gym and tattoo parlour on Nicol Street.

There is no audio on the video but suddenly a man reaches over and attacks another man, pushing him down.
