A nice walk after an Easter dinner turned terrifying for a senior man and a woman who were viciously beaten in Douglas Park in 91原创 City on Saturday night.

Around 8:30 p.m., David Norman, 63, was walking with a 65-year-old woman in Douglas Park when they came across a young man urinating on the sidewalk in front of them.

鈥淚 told him he should go urinate in the bushes or use a bathroom,鈥� said Norman. 鈥淗e then decided he was going to kill me.鈥�

The accused, a 23-year-old 91原创 man well known to police, is described by Norman to be 6鈥�3鈥� inches tall and 230 pounds.

The attacker tried punching Norman but ended up tackling him to the ground, while another young man jumped in, kicking at Norman. He has bruising and swelling all over his arms and hands where he protected his face and head.

He has been to the doctor and had X-rays taken of his ribs.

Norman鈥檚 female friend told the men she was calling police,  and that鈥檚 when the attacker went after her, punching her in the head and trying to take her phone, Norman said.

鈥淭his was unwarranted and completely out of control in a senior鈥檚 district. We want people to know it鈥檚 not safe to walk at Douglas Park.鈥�

91原创 RCMP confirm that a group of males were out in the area causing mischief, with the one involved in the attack also allegedly responsible for kicking off the side mirrors of three vehicles in the area, said police spokesman Const. Craig van Herk.

Charges haven鈥檛 been approved by Crown yet but the accused is making his first court appearance this week on the matter.

Norman said he plans to be there. Police haven鈥檛 arrested the other suspect.
