A 92-year-old man, who police say has "severe dementia" had walked into a convenience store. Staff members were trying to help the elderly Asian man when another customer started shouting racist remarks at the victim, the Vancouver Police Department said in a news release Wednesday. Some of the comments were related to COVID-19. The incident continued outside, where it is alleged the elderly man was shoved. The man fell to the ground and hit his head, police said. Officers were called to the store, but the other man had left the scene.
The department said it's seen an increase in hate-motivated incidents and criminal behaviour directed towards people of Asian descent during the pandemic. There were 11 hate crimes reported in Vancouver in March, five of which, police say, "had an anti-Asian element." In the first four months of 2020, nine anti-Asian hate crimes have been reported in the city. As a comparison, police said, there were a dozen reported in all of 2019. And officers said the actual number of hate crimes in the city could be higher. "We know that hate crimes and hate-motivated incidents are generally underreported. We believe the increase in March is indicative of a larger issue," Visintin said. "We are making a plea to victims or people who witness hate crimes to please come forward and report the incidents to police so they can be investigated." The investigation into the March 13 assault is ongoing, and anyone with more information is asked to call police or Crime Stoppers.

太混蛋了，可以告这个警察吧。 明明对方犯的是侵害他人罪，居然不抓？
