According to CBC

“Mann was charged with aggravated assault in the stabbing of a Surrey woman three weeks before Dunn was killed in an incident that RCMP said occurred after witnesses saw the suspect and the victim engaged in some kind of interaction.

Through a series of court documents, the CBC has been able to piece together a timeline of the events which preceded Dunn’s death and Mann’s arrest.

The first of those incidents occurred on Jan. 15 when Mann was arrested after a confrontation near the Main Street SkyTrain station in Vancouver.

Scott Hastings told CBC he was walking in the area when he heard a woman crying for help after Mann grabbed her bag. He was riding away on a bike when Hastings shoulder-checked him onto the road.

And then he got up and squared off at me, and he was just about to pull out a can of bear spray or pepper spray of some kind,” Hastings said. “And right at that moment, a police officer showed up right next to me.”

Mann was arrested and awaiting trial on charges arising from that incident when he was caught stealing merchandise from Lululemon in Richmond in February.

He was convicted of theft on that charge, sentenced to eight days in jail and ordered to keep the peace and be of good behaviour.

Three weeks later, a Vancouver judge sentenced Mann to 60 days in jail for possessing a dangerous weapon and resisting a peace officer in the incident involving Hastings; he was credited for 30 days time served. Mann was also handed a two-year probation order. 

He was ordered not to possess any weapons, knives or noxious spray. And he was once again ordered to keep the peace and be of good behaviour.”
