Charges have been laid a day after two people were stabbed in a Richmond business.
Mounties were called to the area of Steveston Highway and No. 5 Road for reports of a stabbing just before 11 a.m. Wednesday.
When they arrived, officers found two people hurt. Another person was arrested a short time later in Abbotsford.
The RCMP says Andrew Patrick Weynes is facing two counts of aggravated assault. He remains in custody.

“This type of violent attack has a huge impact not only on the employees at the business and their families, but on the community as a whole,” said Staff-Sgt. Gene Hsieh.
“We hope knowing a suspect has been charged and remanded in custody, brings a sense of relief to those both directly and indirectly involved. We also want to thank every officer and police agency that assisted in identifying, locating, and arresting the suspect.”
Anyone with information about what happened or who has dash-cam or surveillance footage is asked to contact the RCMP at 604-278-1212 and quote file 2022-31532.
