Man who randomly stabbed delivery driver pleads guilty to 2 separate attacks

A man who stabbed a Vancouver food delivery bike rider and slashed his throat has pleaded guilty to two separate attacks.

In September 2022, 26-year-old Hamidullah Habibi suffered multiple stab wounds while dropping off a meal in Chinatown.

Luckily, bystanders were able to slow his bleeding until paramedics arrived.

Habibi required surgery and at least 20 staples in his neck.

“I was really scared of him,” he told Global News at the time.

“This guy he (started) stabbing me, and everything was happening so fast… Then suddenly, I (felt) something in my throat that it was I can’t breathe.”
