The suspect in the case, Nathaniel Frances Beekmeyer, is a biological male who is referred to as a "she" by police, but was referred to as "they" in a report by Global News.
Beekmeyer was seen on video, shirtless and shoeless, being escorted to the back of a police van.
"The victim and witnesses say the suspect was reaching for and grabbing at the mother and baby. The mother, a woman in her 30s from Vancouver, screamed, held onto the baby, and attempted to fight off the man," said Const. Tania Visintin to CityNews.

"What led up to this assault happening is something that’s still going to form the investigation. We don’t know the motive, we don’t know much about what the suspect was doing prior to their interaction with this woman. Again, those are all details that will come out through the investigation," Visintin said.
She said that the suspect has a history of mental health issues.
