A 17-year-old has been charged after a man was stabbed on Commercial Drive late Wednesday night while chasing his bicycle.
At about 11:20 p.m., the victim's bike was grabbed from where it rested beside him and his friend, and the youth rode off. The victim chased him down and tried to get the bike back, and the suspect allegedly stabbed him in the abdomen.
Vancouver Police located a suspect matching the description several blocks away, still allegedly holding the stolen bicycle. He was non-compliant when officers tried to arrest him, so they deployed a bean bag shotgun and took him into custody.
The victim was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The 17-year-old has been charged with one count of robbery and one count of assault with a weapon. These are allegations and have not been tested in court.
