A 38-year-old woman in Vancouver has been arrested and charged with aggravated assault, after police say she stabbed a security guard with a hypodermic needle on Thursday.
The victim was stabbed while working near Main and Hastings streets around 4:30 p.m., according to a statement the Vancouver Police Department issued Friday.
When officers responded to the scene of the stabbing, the suspect allegedly refused to drop the needle in question.
“A less-lethal beanbag shotgun was deployed during the arrest,” the release explains.
Police say the security guard, 62, was taken to hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.
Cheyenne Harvey has been charged with aggravated assault and will remain in custody until her next court appearance.
Court documents show Harvey has a lengthy criminal history, dating back to July 2010, when she was found guilty on two counts of “breach of undertaking or recognizance,” as well as an assault charge.
