A man was left with “significant stab wounds” after an apparent attack on the SeaBus terminal in North Vancouver, and two teenagers were arrested after being found with machetes.
The North Vancouver RCMP is calling on witnesses to continue investigating the June 1 incident, according to a statement released Friday.
Police say they were called to the Lonsdale Quay area around 9:15 p.m. to report a “quarrel” when they found a badly injured 26-year-old man.
“An employee immediately provided emergency first aid, set up a police turnstile and called paramedics,” the statement said.
“The police found out that a group of four to five people who fled the scene before the police arrived was involved in the quarrel.
Later that night, patrol officers saw two people who “matched the descriptions provided by witnesses,” the statement continued, adding that they were 17 and 13 years old. “It has been found that each of them has a machete.”
The teenagers have been released under the custody of their guardians on condition that they do not own weapons and stay away from the area near the SeaBus terminal.
Investigators are asking anyone with video surveillance or video from the area to contact police by calling 604-985-1311.
They are looking for a special video taken between 9 and 9:45 p.m. on June 1 from the East Esplanade between Lonsdale Avenue and St. Louis. St. George’s Avenue and St. George’s Avenue between East Esplanade and East Second Street.
