Police in Metro Vancouver say a 17-year-old has been charged after stabbings that injured two women last month.

A statement from Delta police says their department has been working with R-C-M-P in Surrey to identify a suspect in the stabbings on January 16th and 23rd.

Police say the youth has now been charged with two counts of assault with a weapon and two counts of assault causing bodily harm.

They say the women suffered minor physical injuries but such attacks can leave victims with long-lasting impacts.
