Vancouver cyclist confronts anti-masker at rally; assault charges recommended

Published on March 31, 2021 at 07:55 AM

Police say they are recommending charges against a Vancouver man after a confrontation involving an anti-masker on Main Street over the weekend.

Vancouver police said a convoy of vehicles was taking part in an anti-mask rally on Saturday afternoon.

A passenger in one of the vehicles was speaking through a bullhorn addressing people on the street.

A cyclist confronted the man, police said, and struck the vehicle repeatedly with his bicycle.

Witnesses detained the cyclist and police later took him into custody.

Video posted to social media shows a man in a vehicle using a bullhorn to tell passersby that they are “doing a great job of complying with the narrative.”
