BURNABY RCMP are seeking dashcam footage after a pedestrian was allegedly assaulted by the passenger of a vehicle near Hastings Street and Rosser Avenue in North Burnaby on Wednesday, March 6 at approximately 1:06 p.m.

The pedestrian was crossing the street in a marked crosswalk when he was nearly hit by a white SUV, according to witnesses.

“Burnaby RCMP investigators have spoken with witnesses and obtained surveillance footage of the suspect vehicle, however, they are still looking to obtain a license plate. We would like people to look at the image of the vehicle we are sharing and to contact police if they have any information or dashcam video that may assist in this investigation,” said Cpl.
