Disabled woman spat on

Police have arrested a Vancouver man after he allegedly spat on a woman in a wheelchair on the downtown Granville Strip.

Daniel Bielewcz, 28, has been charged with assault in the unprovoked assault, which happened Sunday morning.

Bielewcz is alleged to have spat in the face of the 19-year-old woman on Granville Street, near West Georgia.

Video surveillance appears to show the suspect also spitting on the chest of an elderly man and two other women walking by.

"These random assaults are very concerning,” says Sgt. Jason Robillard. “We are urging the three additional victims to come forward, as their information could be crucial to the investigation.”

Anyone who may be a victim is asked to call Vancouver Police at 604-717-3321.
