A man has been arrested and charged after a crime spree on Wednesday that involved assaulting a woman, sexually assaulting a teen girl, and attempting to rob a bank.

According to Vancouver police, the violent string of incidents began around 5:15 p.m. on May 28 in an office at Cambie and West 41st.

A woman was leaving an appointment when she was grabbed in the hallway and assaulted. She was able to scream and get away unharmed.

Just 14 minutes later, a teen girl was using a washroom in the same building when an unknown man cornered her inside with a knife and sexually assaulted her. The attacker fled after someone tried to enter the washroom.

As police were responding to the sex assault, they said a man walked into a bank on the ground floor of the building and tried to rob it.
