Vancouver police are trying to identify a man who assaulted a woman near the running track between Clark College and Hudson’s Bay High School after the two argued about his not wearing a mask.
The victim was taken to a local hospital with unspecified injuries. She has since been released, police said.
Police responded Wednesday to the assault near the corner of McLoughlin Boulevard and Fort Vancouver Way. Upon arrival, officers learned that a woman and man got into an argument while exercising at the track.
The argument stemmed from the man not wearing any type of face covering or observing social distancing guidelines for protection against the novel coronavirus, according to a police news release.
