A medical incident that ‘shocked’ passersby at Burnaby’s Metrotown library Tuesday did not pose a public threat, according to Burnaby RCMP.
Library staff and passersby witnessed a disturbing incident at Burnaby’s Metrotown library this week, but police said the incident had not posed a public threat.
He said a man they found near the front entrance of the library had sustained a head injury and was bleeding heavily. Burnaby RCMP did not attend, according to spokesperson Cpl. Mike Kalanj, who said the incident had not posed a threat to the public. “Most of us who happened to be passing the area at the time were shocked by the sight,” he said in an email. “Library staff who came out to offer help were visibly shaken.”
“Library workers, as service providers, are often called on to utilize a wide range of skills on a daily basis in order to effectively work with diverse groups without necessarily having the training or the time to safely do so,” the report stated.
