In less than 15 minutes, three people were stabbed in seemingly random attacks in downtown Vancouver Monday night, according to authorities.
Officers were called to Granville Street, near Nelson street, at 9:40 p.m. for a report that a 33-year-old man had been stabbed in the back, a news release from the Vancouver Police Department says.
The next report came "minutes later" when a 41-year-old man was stabbed two blocks away, at Granville and Davie streets, according to the VPD. At 9:52 p.m., while police were responding to the second stabbing, a 911 call came in reporting that a third victim was stabbed at Granville and Nelson streets.
"There is no indication that any of the victims knew each other, or the suspect," spokesperson Steve Addison said. "The investigation is ongoing."
A suspect was arrested, but police did not say when. That person remains in custody. No information was provided on the condition of the victims, except that they are "recovering."
Emergency Health Services told CTV News that three patients were transported to hospital after the stabbings.
"None of the patients’ conditions are known at this time," a spokesperson wrote in an email.
