One man has been arrested and remains in custody after an assault in a South Vancouver home near East 41st and Sherbrooke early Saturday morning.
Two people are in hospital with serious injuries, the Vancouver Police Department said, adding there is no risk to the public.
Police roped off eastbound lanes on 41st Avenue between Inverness and Sherbrooke streets and cordoned off several houses in the neighbourhood, tweeting the closure around 8 a.m.
Investigators could be seen Saturday morning marking evidence outside the homes, including what appeared to be a large blood stain on the sidewalk.
In an emailed statement to Global News, BC Emergency Health Services confirmed four ambulances attended a 1200-block residence of 41st Avenue at 6:45 a.m. Three patients were brought to the hospital at the time.
In a news conference that afternoon, Const. Tania Visintin said she could not provide any details beyond the fact that a “serious police incident” had taken place.
The streets in the area reopened around 2:40 p.m.
