VPD investigating disturbing Granville Strip groin-kick (Warning: graphic video)

Quote:

VANCOUVER - Vancouver police are investigating a disturbing smartphone video of an incident on the Granville Strip where a man appears to pay another man cash to kick him in the groin while a rowdy closing-time crowd howls and cheers.

The man then chased after the victim and took back the $40, according to bystanders.

Sgt. Randy Fincham said officers were not called out to the scene in the Granville Street Entertainment District Sunday evening for that particular incident, but added that police are taking the contents of the video seriously and it will be reviewed by investigators.

"The video is very disturbing. We have referred the incident to an investigative team for review," Fincham said, in an email.

In the video, a man repeatedly tries to kick another man in the groin while asking him if he "wants his f — ing money." Then a second man steps forward and says, "I'll do it," and the heavy-set assailant does the same to the next man.

After several attempts, a heavy blow hits the man square in the groin. As the victim reels backward from the punt, the assailant can be seen chasing the victim across Granville Street, where he falls to the ground. Then the video cuts out.

Jens Petersen, who told The Sun he knew the victim, was standing near The Roxy when the commotion began on the sidewalk in front of the popular nightclub.

Petersen said the assailant had paid the victim $40 to kick him. But after he chased and caught up with the fleeing victim, the assailant took back the money.

Riley Speers, who posted footage of the incident to YouTube, told The Sun it all took place around 3 a.m. when the clubs let out.

Speers said he did not believe the assailant came out of The Roxy, but rather approached the area alone from somewhere down Granville Street. He said he thought the man did take back the money he paid before he left the area.

Several other people witnessed the victims receive kicks. Many people laughed while some shot video with their smartphones. Their howling continues as the man chases the victim down the street.

The anonymous person who sent the video to The Sun said he was horrified by what happened and he hoped the police would investigate the incident as an assault.

The video may be difficult for some people to watch.

this is disturbingly retarded

TLDR
brown guy from Surrey, what do you expect

why cant people just go DT to club, drink, pick up girls or whatever and go home. instead of doing these stupid shit..

if you accept money from a stranger to be kicked in the groin...well then you deserve a little beat down for being a dumb fuck.

They're junkies, the hobo in the beginning with the white jacket is probably the one who started it. He's always on granville st, asking for money and willing to do anything.

anything for drugs basically..

this is exactly why i stopped going into downtown at night. oh and please, dont lump all brown people from surrey in with these kinds of assholes. not all of us are like this...

LOL, I posted something similar on my facebook but I said "this is what happens when you let surrey jacks cross the bridge".

But in all fairness we don't know if this guy is actually from Surrey so maybe we should leave Surrey out of it...for now.

Guys, the 1st homeless guy is a dude I know. His name is The Goldfish because he has a memory problem and cannot remember anything more than like 10 seconds of life at a time. Feel bad for him as he is always so confused. :(

what an asshole, kick someone then take back the money. No integrity.

he reminds me of this:

when he keeps telling the guy to look him in the eye when he does it is creepy as fuck

lol why so racist against brown dudes not all are like that :ifyouknow:

So it is now common practice for the VPD to track down idiots who want to get kicked in the balls.......great use of tax payer money right there.....on a brighter note, the kick to the groin my have rendered him incapable of producing offspring.

The real fucking scum are these assholes who are taking advantage of the mentally ill and homeless for their own personal amusement. Especially when it involves assault and injury. It's despicable behaviour and represents a sad state for our society.

I hope these fuckers get found and punished.

There are like 10 videos of I'm assuming the same guy getting kicked in the balls

I remember seeing the exact same video play out like 10 years ago in the exact same spot. Obviously the homeless guy is offering it out and it's not like some big drunken clowns are gonna have the dignity to say no

He goes up to people and asks for money, when they say no he says ok give me money and you can kick me in the balls.....this "mentally ill" person is that way by choice.
I volunteered a a soup kitchen in downtown and have seen him before, talked to him before. He use to have a house, wife, kids and he didn't want to give up the party life, got in over his head and now is a full blown addict.

Sad state he is in but he ASKS for people to do this.
