Vancouver police are looking for a suspect after multiple people were stabbed along the Yaletown seawall on Friday morning.
Initial evidence suggests the attacks were random and unprovoked, police stated in a release.
Police said they received 911 calls just after 7:30 a.m. of reports that multiple people had been injured along the seawall near David Lam Park.
Three victims were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Police said the suspect fled before they arrived and has not yet been found.
The suspect is described as a woman in her late 20s or early 30s.
She is between five feet three and five feet seven inches tall, and has a slim build and long, dark hair worn in a ponytail. She was wearing a large, oversized black leather jacket, tight dark pants and either a leopard-print shirt or scarf, police added.

Tania Visintin with the Vancouver Police Department said in a statement. “Public safety is our top priority and we are doing everything we can to identify and arrest the suspect as quickly as possible.”
Anyone who may have witnessed the incident, or anyone with relevant video footage, is asked to call investigators at 604-717-7048.
