VANCOUVER—Vancouver police say they’ve launched an investigation into an incident at a Transgender Day of Visibility event which turned violent in the city’s Grandview Park on March 31.
The announcement, posted April 1 on the Vancouver Police Department’s (VPD) Twitter account, comes after widely circulated videos posted on social media show Chris Elston, who takes to the streets holding signs opposing puberty blockers for children, being attacked and beaten at the event. Police are seen in the video dispersing the crowd after the attack.
