VANCOUVER — Police in Vancouver are asking the public’s help with identifying a suspect in a Yaletown stabbing spree on Friday (Oct. 10).

Officers responded to reports of several stabbings at 7:30 a.m. along the seawall near David Lam Park. Three victims were found at first and taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Another four victims have since come forward – one stabbed, one physically assaulted and two others physically unharmed.

Victims were five men and two women, ranging from 23 to 59 years old.

“These assaults were violent and unprovoked, and as long as this suspect remains at large we fear the community is at risk,” said Sergeant Steve Addison with the Vancouver Police Department. “It is our highest priority to quickly identify and apprehend this person.”
