Two men were arrested after an individual allegedly pulled a knife during a fight on a Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­bus. 

On Thursday, March 26 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," explains 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."
