Police confirming stabbing incident at Joyce-Collingwood SkyTrain Station

The Vancouver Police Department (VPD) confirmed that a stabbing had occurred shortly after at 6:05 p.m. on Saturday, around the Joyce-Collingwood SkyTrain Station in Vancouver

1130 NewsRadio received multiple reports of a police presence at the station.

“Two victims have been transported to the hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries, and the suspect was arrested by police and is currently in custody. At this time, this file is still under investigation,” Cst. Darren Wong said in a statement to 1130 NewsRadio.

The BC Emergency Health Services (BCEHS) also says that paramedics responded to the scene.

“Paramedics provided emergency medical treatment to two patients who were transported to the hospital, one in serious but stable condition and one in stable condition,” BCEHS said.

Images from the scene, provided by residents in the neighbourhood, show police cruisers and ambulances located at the Vanness Avenue side of the station.

Police officers seem to have taped off an area outside the station, near the entrance to the station and next to the waiting area for the R4 bus going to UBC.

Edison, one resident living across the station on Vanness Avenue, tells 1130 NewsRadio that he saw an “assault that had taken place” at around 6:30 p.m.

“It looked like it spilled out from a parked R4 bus, and then it spilled out onto the bus loop area,” he said.

Edison adds that he saw at least a dozen police officers and four ambulances arriving.
