An electric vehicle driver in Vancouver is sounding the alarm after a troubling confrontation in a parking garage on the city’s Downtown Eastside.

Before meeting friends for dinner on Monday night, Colleen Nitta decided to charge her ride inside a lot near East Hastings and Columbia streets, where she says a stranger tried to force his way into her car.

The 37-year-old told CTV News that she was inside her locked vehicle, trying to pay for the electric fuel, when she saw a man enter the parking garage by foot and pull a charger out from a car parked in front of hers.

When he started approaching her vehicle, she immediately called 911.

“While I was on the phone, he started trying to open my driver's side door. Then the backseat passenger door, the trunk…He kept forcefully trying to get into my vehicle without saying a word,” recalled Nitta.

She wasn’t able to drive away, since electric vehicles can’t be operated while they’re in the process of being charged....

Scary. What is CTV highlighting though? Gas cars can't drive away when being filled either. Sort of.

Hm, 'too scared to contribute pictures'? Is it too late to get a refund from Trump University for that "psychology degree"?

In the meantime, I still haven't got a picture of the tower crane on East Hastings, but you seem to be obsessing about it, so here's what it looks like.

I don't know why anyone would open a gallery or retail space with high-end items in that area.
