A Vancouver Woman Has Been Hospitalized After An Alleged Attack By An Ontario Boxer
She was hospitalized in Mexico.
This article contains graphic content that might not be suitable for some readers.
A Vancouver woman has been brutally attacked during a trip to Mexico.
According to Global News, Jamie Coutts was in Playa del Carmen on what was supposed to be a relaxing vacation in the sun with a friend.
On Saturday night though, the pair was assaulted at a bar.
Coutts made the news in March 2021 when she filmed herself being stalked by a man in Vancouver for 40 minutes.
That incident happened in Vancouver's Chinatown and she posted a video to seek help and to find the man. On March 20, Vancouver Police said in a statement that they had identified a suspect.
Months after the disturbing incident, Coutts is now in the hospital facing surgery after being attacked.
Coutts' friend who she was travelling with — Genevieve Thomas — posted photos of Coutts and the man who has been arrested by police in Mexico for the assault on social media.
Police in Mexico said they have arrested Peter Nowaczeck, who is a professional boxer from Ontario, according to Global News.
Thomas said in her post that Coutts had been "beat up" by the boxer from Toronto.
"He wouldn’t stop pestering one girl we were with no matter how many times she said she wasn’t interested. So Jamie and I stepped up and started telling him to go away, leave her alone," the post said.
After he turned away momentarily, he quickly turned back and hit Thomas in the face, knocking her out, according to the post.
He then allegedly "turned around and ran at Jamie who was 10ft away and got her square in the face, knocking her out for 5 minutes, breaking her nose in multiple places, busting open her face, and breaking one of her teeth."
According to the post, Peter Nowaczeck is now being held in police custody.

"It's a miracle no innocent people were hurt."
A driver reached speeds of up to 160 km/h trying to evade police moments before they crashed, according to a police officer.

He said that as officers went to flag the car over, the driver accelerated to an "estimated 160km, swerved into oncoming lanes, narrowly missing officers."
Sgt. Christensen said the driver sped off but as they attempted to make a right turn on 57th Avenue, they crashed.
A couple of weeks ago, we were doing speed enforcement on Granville/54th. An Audi, driving in curb lane, was clocked at 130 kmh in 50 zone. As members went to flag car over, it accelerated to estimated 160km, swerved into oncoming lanes, narrowly missing officers!pic.twitter.com/WJc7jZoT02— Sgt Mark Christensen (@Sgt Mark Christensen) 1638672565
The driver was trapped in their vehicle and had to be rescued by Vancouver Fire Rescue Services. The driver was then taken to hospital with minor injuries.
Sgt. Christensen said that the driver has now been charged with dangerous driving after the incident, which happened a couple of weeks ago, and they have been banned from driving for six months.
He added: "It’s a miracle no innocent people were hurt."
