A 65-year-old Edmonton man is fighting for his life after he was assaulted outside of his home on Wednesday afternoon in what police are describing as an unprovoked attack.
Multiple neighbours identified the man as William Vernon, a retired family man who has lived in the Pollard Meadows neighbourhood for decades and is well known within the community.
He was in the “wrong place, wrong time” when he “ran into this particular suspect,” Scott Pattison, a spokesperson for the Edmonton Police Service, told CTV Edmonton.
