A man accused of attacking a woman visiting Vancouver had received bail hours before on Surrey threat charges.
Peterhans Nungu, 34, is charged with assault causing bodily harm in connection with the April 15 assault of a woman near the entrance to Stanley Park.
The Toronto woman shared her story on social media of how she had to fight for her life after a stranger assaulted her while walking in Vancouver's Coal Harbour on April 15 around 12:30 a.m.
Vancouver police said he was granted bail and released from police custody by a provincial court judge on April 23, but was transferred to a secure medical facility and has remained under medical supervision since that time.
He was soon released from hospital and was on house arrest in with police monitoring.
However, court records show Nungu was already on bail after a court appearance hours before the Stanley Park incident.
Judge Jodie Harris in Surrey Provincial Court granted bail April 14 in a 2:15 p.m. court appearance.
Bail was granted on three charges from April 13.
It’s alleged Nungu, two days before the Vancouver incident, assaulted a police officer, uttered a threat to one woman to kill another and to damage their property.
Nungu's new bail conditions require him to obey a 24-hour/day house arrest, unless given permission to leave for work or a medical appointment.
Nungu returns to court June 13 on the Vancouver charge and July 19 on the Surrey charges.
