Security video taken from the lobby of a Vancouver apartment building shows the moment a women was attacked, then assisted by witnesses who police are hailing as heroes.
The video, shared to CTV News Vancouver by the building manager, shows a man following a woman into the 1212 Howe St. apartment building Sunday night at approximately 6 p.m.
She seems confused as the man continuous inching closer towards her. He then aggressively grabs the woman around her neck, pushes her against the wall, then slams her to the ground.
“We could hear her screams before we even got in the elevator,” Georgia Stephens, who lives on the 11th floor, told CTV News Vancouver.
Stephens and her roommate made their way down to the lobby and witnessed the assault.
“There’s this huge man laying on top of this woman. She’s screaming. She has blood pouring out of her mouth,” said Stephens.
Footage shows bystanders outside desperately trying to open the building door, which requires a key fob.
