Vancouver police have arrested two 18-year-old suspects in a stabbing that left a 32-year-old man in hospital.
The police response resulted in the closure of the busy Yaletown-Roundhouse station for much of Friday morning.
Police said the victim was stabbed in front of a condo building near Mainland and Hamilton streets after a “verbal altercation” with the suspects just before 1 a.m.
“The suspects then fled towards the Yaletown SkyTrain station and the victim chased them,” Const. Tanya Visintin said.
