Vancouver police are searching for a “dangerous” man wanted across Canada for breaching his conditional sentencing order tied to an aggravated assault charge.
Melqui Torres-Foot, 27, stabbed a stranger on Granville Street in downtown Vancouver last year, police said.
“Torres-Foot is considered to be dangerous and investigators believe his violent behaviour is escalating,” reads a news release from the Vancouver Police Department on Friday.
There’s a “high likelihood” Torres-Foot is in Vancouver, Const. Tania Visintin told Global News, but investigators believe he could be “anywhere in the Lower Mainland.”
