Attack in the DTES Annex

Two people bear-sprayed in downtown Vancouver

Two people were bear-sprayed in downtown Vancouver Friday, police say.

The VPD says it happened in the area of Burrard and Smithe streets around 8 a.m.

Police believe the assault was unprovoked, and the victims didn’t know those responsible.

The VPD says the two suspects then entered a nearby grocery store and barricaded themselves inside the washroom.

Police closed the store while a VPD crisis negotiator worked to resolve the incident.

The suspects surrendered to police and were taken into custody two hours later.
