Vancouver Police Department Staff Sgt. Mark Horsley recently disguised himself as a brain-injured individual, confined to a motorized wheelchair, and sat on the streets of the city’s Downtown Eastside neighborhood, reports the National Post.
Since January 2014, the neighborhood has seen 14 violent attacks on people in wheelchairs, according to CTV News. The National Post, calling the neighborhood “drug-infested,” reports that number to be as high as 28.
Horsely said he thought he would be uniquely positioned, in that wheelchair, to catch someone either trying to rob him or otherwise take of advantage of him. More Watch video at Nutty News Videos
