Three passersby came to the rescue of an East Vancouver shopkeeper who was attacked by a knife-wielding masked man on the night of Sept. 7.

The 23-year-old woman was leaving work in the Mount Pleasant neighbourhood shortly before 9 p.m. when a man carrying a knife and whose face was concealed grabbed her from behind and threatened to stab her, said the Vancouver Police Department in a news release.
