Large and "hostile" crowd gathered downtown on Halloween night; Officers didn't issue tickets because of safety concerns
BY , Nov 2, 2020 11:51 PM - REPORT AN ERRORVancouver police say a large and ``hostile'' crowd gathered downtown on Halloween night despite COVID-19 restrictions, but officers didn't issue tickets because of safety concerns.
Police say in a news release officers were called to the Granville entertainment district Saturday night when a growing crowd of people weren't paying attention to physical distancing rules.
It says officers stopped a Range Rover for a traffic violation and those inside ``swarmed'' the police.
When the crowd grew to about 30 people, the officers called for backup.
Police say one man was arrested for jumping on the hood of a police vehicle.
A rear passenger side window was smashed on another police vehicle and an arrest has not been made in that incident.
