Man suffers 'life-threatening' injuries in Vancouver bus stabbing, suspect arrested
Police say a 22-year-old man has been taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries after a stabbing on a bus in Vancouver early Sunday.
A statement from Vancouver Police says a 28-year-old man has been arrested and charged with assault in connection to the stabbing.
Police say officers responded shortly before 3 a.m. to reports that someone had been stabbed on a bus near the Burrard Street Bridge.
It came in the middle of a busy festival weekend in Vancouver, with the Vancouver Folk Music Festival and Honda Festival of Lights fireworks that drew thousands of extra people to Vancouver's west side and the downtown core — two parts of the city the Burrard Street Bridge connects.
Officers say they arrived to find a seriously injured 22-year-old victim, who was taken to hospital for treatment.
The suspect was arrested near Burrard Street and Cornwall Avenue.
Police said he remains in custody, charged with aggravated assault, assault with a weapon and possession for a weapon for a dangerous purpose.

Man dead after personal watercraft incident on Squamish River, RCMP say
The Squamish River is seen in this file photo. (CTV News) A man is dead after an incident on the Squamish River Friday afternoon, according to local police. Paramedics and search and rescue crews were called to the confluence of the Squamish and Cheakamus rivers west of Squamish airport around 1:45 p.m. for a report that a man had been located unresponsive, Squamish RCMP said in a news release. Responders attempted life-saving measures, but the man did not survive. 'Based on the information received, two individuals were operating personal watercrafts on the river when they became separated,' the RCMP release reads. The surviving rider found the man unresponsive, with his personal floatation device keeping him afloat, police said. Mounties said they'll be working with the B.C. Coroners Service to determine the circumstances of the death, but 'initial information' leads them to believe the death was 'a medical event' and not a result of foul play.
