3 women arrested after altercation, stabbing at North Vancouver's Lonsdale Quay
Police in North Vancouver say they've arrested three women in connection to a stabbing that occurred in the early hours of Saturday morning at Lonsdale Quay.
Officers responded to 'reports of a distraught female' near the bus loop around 2:45 a.m., North Vancouver RCMP said in a news release Saturday afternoon.
When they arrived, officers found a woman who had 'injuries consistent with being assaulted with an edged weapon,' police said.
As the investigation continued, police found two other women on the second floor, above the bus loop. Police said one of them had similar injuries to the woman found on the lower floor.
'It's alleged that the three females were involved in a dispute and an assault occurred,' the RCMP release reads. 'Investigators believe this is an isolated incident and there is no risk to the public currently.'
All three women were taken into custody for the alleged assaults, and two of the three were taken to hospital for 'injuries ranging from minor to serious,' according to police.
'As the investigation is in its very early stages, there are a lot of unanswered questions that police are seeking answers for,' said Cpl. Mansoor Sahak, in the release.
'What we do know is that there was a dispute between the parties, who were known to each other, before the alleged assault occurred.'
Police are asking anyone who witnessed the incident and has not yet spoken to investigators to contact them at 604-985-1311 and quote file number 25-15578.
