  "account": "Two individuals from Calgary were attacked following their departure from a Bruno Mars concert at BC Place Stadium in Vancouver, marking the second violent incident after a major concert in Vancouver this year. The attack occurred around 11 p.m. Wednesday near Gastown, as the pair walked away from the venue. The male victim was repeatedly struck with a sharp object, likely glass, causing significant injury to his left forearm; the female victim was pushed into a light pole. Police charged a 34-year-old man with assault, assault causing bodily harm, and assault with a weapon. The suspect was in custody awaiting a bail hearing. This incident follows a previous attack on an AC/DC fan during their August 13 concert at BC Place, where the fan was punched from behind, resulting in severe head trauma.",
