February 28, 2023
The suspect who broke a 93-year-old man’s hip in an unprovoked attack in Vancouver’s Chinatown last year has been arrested.
The senior was walking to a bakery on Main Street and East Pender when he was allegedly pushed to the ground by Henry Paul Wiens, 52, at around 3:15 p.m. on Oct. 11, 2022.
The victim, who has been a Chinatown resident for 30 years, required hospitalization due to a broken hip.
Investigators previously released surveillance footage of the 93-year-old falling to the ground in an effort to identify the suspect.
On Feb. 15, the Vancouver Police Department announced a province-wide warrant for Wiens’ arrest.
According to the VPD, officers arrested Wiens in the city’s downtown core on Saturday morning.
Police have not stated whether the attack was racially motivated.
