Good Deed Turned Violent in Vancouver | Vancouver News

A kind-hearted Vancouver woman, Bethan Jones, was attacked while delivering groceries to the homeless when a stranger violently assaulted her—smashing into her with a right hand and fleeing in a rage. Witness Luke Gaskin chased him down, helping police arrest the suspect, 36-year-old Kurtis Hummer, who has a history of theft and break-ins. Despite being charged with assault causing bodily harm, Hummer was released hours later under strict conditions—including staying away from the area and avoiding contact with Bethan or Gaskin. Bethan, now hospitalized with a fractured cheekbone, is shaken and frustrated by the leniency of the justice system, fearing he’ll return to harm others.
