Authorities in Vancouver, are asking for the public’s help in finding a man who attacked a woman Wednesday at a running track after an argument over masks and social distancing.
Police say that about 10:30 a.m., the victim was running on a track between Clark College and Hudson’s Bay High School in Vancouver when she got into a dispute with a man who wasn’t following social distancing protocols. During the argument, the man was seen smiling and making obscene gestures, according to Oregon Live.
The victim left the track, but the man followed her to her car, where he struck her multiple times and kicked her in the head after she fell to the ground, police reported.
Police responded to the report of assault, but the man remains at large. He reportedly fled the scene with a woman in a black SUV.
The victim was treated at an area hospital for her injuries, according to the report. She was later released Thursday afternoon.
