Vancouver police say one person has been arrested after a man was stabbed in the chest Tuesday.

The VPD says two men were arguing in the area of Main Street and Terminal Avenue “when things escalated.”

The department notes the victim, a 51-year-old, “was stabbed a number of times.”

A 45-year-old suspect was later taken into custody after several witnesses called for help, police say.

CityNews has reached out to the VPD for more information.
