Vancouver Police say a 15-year-old was taken into custody Tuesday night after a man was stabbed on a Vancouver street.

Police say it appears a fight broke out on a transit bus around 9 p.m. before spilling out onto Commercial Drive near Venables Street.

The victim, a 32-year-old man, was stabbed before witnesses stepped in to hold the teen until police arrived.

Other witnesses in the area called police and provided first aid to the victim until paramedics arrived.

The victim remains in hospital with serious, but not non-life-threatening injuries.

The suspect is still in police custody.

Anyone who may have information about this assault, and has not yet spoken with police, is asked to call the VPD’s Major Crime Section at 604-717-2541 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
