Two men were arrested after one allegedly pulled a knife during a fight on a Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»bus.
On Thursday at around 7:20 p.m., two strangers started arguing on a bus in the 700 block of 41st Avenue. When the quarrel became physical, the bus operator called for help. One of the individuals brandished a knife during the fight.
"When the men were fighting one of them pulled out a knife," said Sgt. Clint Hampton, Metro Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»Transit Police. "One of the men went to hospital, but not because of stab wounds."
Hampton adds that it is believed that both of the individuals were "heavily intoxicated."
Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»police were first to arrive at the scene and they arrested both of the individuals. However, the men are no longer in custody.
Metro Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»Transit Police have taken over the file and the incident is still under investigation.
Hampton adds that police, "won’t tolerate violence on transit. At a time like this, we should be helping one another, not fighting."
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Transit Police tip line at 604-516-7419 or text them using the code 87-77-77.
