East Vancouver - Bright pink whistles handed out to women

Bright pink whistles are being being handed out to women in East Vancouver as part of a campaign by police and transit officials to help prevent attacks on women near SkyTrain stations.

There has been a series of disturbing attacks on women near the 29th Avenue and Nanaimo Street SkyTrain stations in the past five months.

Three women were attacked by a man with a tire iron in late December.
