From Global News.

The mother of the suspect in a random attack on a tourist in Vancouver, B.C., told Global News that the family is devastated to hear what happened.

The victim was visiting from Toronto when she said she was randomly attacked by a man on the seawall on April 15.

Peterhans Jalo Nungu was charged with assault causing bodily harm and was released on Wednesday on 10 conditions.

His mother, Nungu Magdalene, told Global News that her son was in a “mentally ill condition” on Sunday, April 13, and they called the police to help take him to the hospital.

Magdalene said that her son suffered a mental health crisis a year ago, but he was getting help and treatment.

However, he suffered a setback recently, which led to the recent events.
