York’s most well-known Big Issue vendor says he was left cut and bruised after being attacked in broad daylight.

Vasile Calin says he was attacked on Monday at around 2pm (October 16) while working at his pitch selling the magazine outside Marks & Spencer in Parliament Street.

“I don’t know why this happened,” he told The Press. “I have never had this before.”

The 37-year-old, who lives in York, said he has been selling at the spot for the past six years and has never experienced any physical abuse.
