Nanaimo man and his dog threatened by an unidentified male

On July 11, 2024, at approximately 9:30 am, a 44-year-old Nanaimo man was walking his large dog in the wooded area behind the Northfield Rotary Lookout Park, located at 2450 Northfield Road, when he was confronted by another male wielding two knives. The assailant swung the knives at the dog walker, attempting to stab him. In response, the dog lunged at the assailant and bit him on the right leg. The dog's owner, who is trained in martial arts, was able to incapacitate the assailant and take possession of the knives.

The suspect is a Caucasian male with shoulder-length brown hair, aged between 30 and 40. He was wearing dark clothes and had a bra on his head. After the incident, he left the area with a red suitcase and a red mobility walker. Despite extensive foot patrols in the area by Police Dog Services and officers, they did not find the suspect.

The investigation is continuing, and police are requesting that anyone with information about the suspect call the Nanaimo RCMP at (250)754-2345.
