CBC
Vancouver police say a man has been charged in connection with an assault in Coal Harbour earlier this month.
News of the arrest came after a Toronto woman shared details on social media of a violent attack on Vancouver's seawall.
In a video posted to TikTok on Tuesday, a woman says she was walking not far from her hotel in Coal Harbour when a man said something to her, ran at her, grabbed her jacket and threw her to the ground.
She says she was able to fight the man off and get away, but he continued his pursuit.
The woman said he smashed her phone when she tried to call 911 and started striking her in the head, adding that at one point she blacked out.
CBC News tried to contact the TikTok user, but has not heard back.
