Residents of a home park made by South Surrey are shaken after an attempted assault and an apparently random breakthrough early Wednesday morning.
“I heard a lot of blows and crash, then I heard a guy screaming and cry! Help me! Help me! “Said Terry Casho, a neighbor of the bay community escaped near boulevard King George and 160th street.
Part of the incident, which occurred shortly before 1:30 am, was captured on a security camera.
The owners, who were too shaken to go to the camera, told Global News that they had heard sounds outside their mobile home, while suddenly a suspect struck their door.
A fight followed, which then spread in the aisle. The owners say that the man shouted for him to give him their car keys.

Julie and Jody Ropas, who live on the other side of the street, told Global News that they woke up with a strong blow on their own door and found their neighbor in rough form.
“He stood there covered with his head blood on the feet and his wife, asking for help,” said Jody.
“His two legs bleed, his arms, his hands.”
Julie said the husband had caught a hockey stick and ran into the street to keep the attack away.
“It was frightening,” she said. “There was blood flowing from him.”
The neighbors say that the man then tried to enter two other houses and the common community of the community before the arrival of the police.
Surrey police said that the city’s support RCMP has responded and arrested a suspect on the scene. He remains in detention.
Police have said that incidents seem random and that the victims do not know the suspect.
The incident quickly sparked criticism from the Conservatives of the British Columbia opposition during the period of legislative question, which said that the province had not followed its commitment to hold people with serious brain damage, drug addiction and mental health problems.
“How many innocent victims must suffer or die while this first sits on his hands and this minister fails to open a single bed for involuntary care,” said South Surrey-White Rock, Trefor Halford.
The Minister of Health, Josie Osborne, said that the first type of this type will soon open.
“We will provide longer-term care in a newly designated establishment to detained persons under the Mental Health Act, this first establishment will open in Maple Ridge in Alouette Homes this spring,” she said.
Julie Ropas, on the other hand, said that the incident had left the whole community – and that it was lucky that things did not prove to be worse.
“If he chose the next house, he would probably have killed them because they are old, fragile,” she said.
