White Rock man arrested after random downtown Vancouver knife attacks
Vancouver Police have arrested a White Rock man after two knife attacks in Vancouver's downtown core Wednesday morning that left one man dead and another with life-altering injuries. “Attacks like these shake our collective sense of comfort and safety, and we’re grateful that a suspect was quickly taken into custody by our officers,” VPD Chief Const. Adam Palmer said in a release.
Just eight minutes later, at 7:46 a.m., VPD officers were called to West Georgia and Hamilton Street after a second man was attacked. Despite efforts to save his life, the man died at the scene. The victim’s identity and age have not yet been confirmed. Shortly after 9 a.m., officers located the suspect on Habitat Island, near the Olympic Village, after responding to reports that a man behaving erratically had approached a stranger and began yelling at him.
“I applaud the witnesses who called police immediately and provided timely information,” Palmer said.
