Police in Sherbrooke, Que., are looking for a man they say assaulted a nurse after he walked into a pharmacy and accused her of giving his wife a COVID-19 vaccine dose without his permission.
The attack allegedly happened on Monday morning, at the Brunet pharmacy located near the corner of 12th Avenue North and du 24-Juin Street.
"[Once there], the man quickly accuses the nurse of vaccinating his wife without [his] consent and then hits her several times to the face," said Martin Carrier, a spokesperson for Sherbrooke police.
According to police, the suspect is between 30 and 45 years old, has a medium build and is six feet tall. He has short dark hair, dark eyes and large eyebrows.
At the time of the incident, he was wearing a dark shirt, jeans and earrings. He also had a tattoo on his hand that looked like a cross.
Police do not have a photo or a video of the suspect.
COVID-19 vaccinations at the pharmacy have been suspended until further notice since there is only one nurse working there.
