Man suffers 'life-threatening' injuries in Vancouver bus stabbing, suspect arrested
Police say a 22-year-old man has been taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries after a stabbing on a bus in Vancouver early Sunday.
A statement from Vancouver Police says a 28-year-old man has been arrested and charged with assault in connection to the stabbing.
Police say officers responded shortly before 3 a.m. to reports that someone had been stabbed on a bus near the Burrard Street Bridge.
It came in the middle of a busy festival weekend in Vancouver, with the Vancouver Folk Music Festival and Honda Festival of Lights fireworks that drew thousands of extra people to Vancouver's west side and the downtown core — two parts of the city the Burrard Street Bridge connects.
Officers say they arrived to find a seriously injured 22-year-old victim, who was taken to hospital for treatment.
The suspect was arrested near Burrard Street and Cornwall Avenue.
Police said he remains in custody, charged with aggravated assault, assault with a weapon and possession for a weapon for a dangerous purpose.
