Vancouver police are seeking witnesses to a violent assault in the West End last week that left a 46-year-old man with serious injuries.
Police say officers were called to Thurlow Street north of Davie Street just before 1 a.m. on Nov. 30, where they found the injured victim.
The man was taken to hospital, where he remains nearly a week after the incident.
VPD spokesperson Sgt. Aaron Roed said in a statement that police have been unable to interview the victim due to his injuries.
