A man who stabbed a stranger inside a downtown Vancouver Tim Hortons in 2022 will again be living at a halfway house in the city.
David Morin, 30, was granted statutory release in June after serving two-thirds of his three-year sentence.
He was re-arrested in October by Vancouver police for breaching the conditions of his release.
Vancouver police said in a statement that they have now been notified that Morin was re-released on Nov. 26 and they believe compelling reasons exist to warn the public that he poses a high risk of significant harm to the community.
