Kent Douglas Meades is charged with multiple assault and threat charges in connection with a Vancouver spree denounced by mayor police chief.

The trial of a man facing multiple assault and threat charges stemming from a Vancouver violence spree, including a stabbing, might be found not criminally responsible due to a mental disorder.

What allegedly happened? Meades was released March 15, 2024, from Fraser Regional Correctional Centre where he was serving time for uttering threats against his family and “prominent” politicians.Saini told the court Jan. 22 that Meades targeted the man “because he wanted to send a message that corporate greed was no longer going to be taken.”An agreed statement of facts has been filed with the court but a copy was not immediately available from the registry.

The man ran from the attacker before police were called to Smithe and Beatty streets for a report of a man stabbing another man and chasing others with a knife.
