The Crown prosecutor was walking with a security guard when a man attacked her a block from Vancouver Provincial Court.

A B.C. Crown prosecutor said an attack on her near Vancouver Provincial Court came out of nowhere and has left her with numbness in her face.

“I was stunned,” she said. “I put my hand to my face and I was bleeding quite heavily. There was blood coming from my face.” The victim told Judge Daniel Loucks she had parked in a parkade where she met a male colleague. They then joined up with a security guard employed as part of the courthouse’s safe-walk program. The program allows for courthouse staff to accompany people through Downtown Eastside streets.

Under questioning from Crown prosecutor Chris Johnson, she described how and where she had been hit. Her hands were shaking, something she described as part of processing the trauma.“I was in a lot of pain,” she said. “It was a very aggressive punch.”
