Police say they’ve made an arrest after three people were stabbed on Granville Street in downtown Vancouver Monday evening.
The violence appeared to be random, as none of the three victims knew each other or their attacker, Const. Tania Visintin of the Vancouver Police Department said in a news release.
The stabbing spree started around 9:40 pm when a 33-year-old man was stabbed in the back near Nelson Street.
Minutes later, police received a 911 call about a 41-year-old man who was stabbed near Granville and Davie streets.
Then, just before 10 pm, a 32-year-old was stabbed near Granville and Nelson Streets.
Officers arrested one suspect downtown and say the investigation is ongoing.
Anyone who witnessed the stabbings or has information about the attacks is asked to contact the VPD’s Major Crime Section at 604-717-254.
