Vancouver Police have released pictures of a man who allegedly sucker-punched a stranger on Granville Street last month, and are asking the public to help identify him.

The assault occurred around 1 a.m. on August 14 outside a pub near Granville and Helmcken Street. The victim, 36, was standing on the sidewalk and surrounded by several people when a stranger approached and punched him in the head, knocking him to the ground.

"We don’t believe there was any prior interaction before the punch, which left the man with lasting facial injuries," adds Sergeant Addison . "There were hundreds of people in the Granville Entertainment District when this early-morning assault occurred, and we know someone will have information to help us identify the person responsible."

The suspect is Caucasian, about six feet tall, with an athletic build and short, dark hair. He was wearing black shorts and a black t-shirt with a red, white, and blue design on the front.
