VANCOUVER, British Columbia (Reuters) - A man who tried to protect a group of ducklings from stone-throwing teenagers was nursing his own injuries after the youths turned the attack on him, police said on Tuesday.
The man was visiting a park in a Vancouver suburb when he discovered the youths throwing rocks at the birds in a pond. When he tried to stop them they swarmed him, throwing punches and hitting him with a rock, West Vancouver Police said.
Police said they were looking for five males, all believed to be about 16 years old, who face possible charges for both the attack on the man and on the baby ducks.
