19-year-old Surrey man was arrested after he allegedly injured a woman with a knife in downtown Vancouver on Thursday morning.

Several residents called 911 shortly after 7 a.m. saying that they were worried about a man with a knife in the area of Hastings and Seymour.

Police used a Taser and several bean bag rounds to take the man into custody. The man was said to be under the influence of drugs and refused to comply with commands.
