The 58-year-old worker told police the two assailants fled after assaulting him about 10 a.m. at Maffeo Sutton Park
A City of Nanaimo employee says he was assaulted with syringes in the bathroom at a waterfront park in that city on Tuesday morning.
He said other city workers have also said they’ve been harassed by members of the street population because they’re with police and bylaw enforcement staff when areas are cleaned up. Workers have been yelled at and had items thrown at them, Shaw said. “They are being targeted more now.” Nanaimo Mayor Leonard Krog called the incident “very disturbing and upsetting.” He said it’s another example of the street disorder he and other mayors have been complaining about for years.
Nanaimo chief administrative officer Dale Lindsay said he was disturbed to hear about Tuesday’s incident at Maffeo Sutton Park.
