Charges approved in Guildford stabbing

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 24 Jan, 2024 03:15 PM

Metro Vancouver Transit Police say charges have been approved after a stabbing that left a teenager with serious wounds requiring emergency surgery.

Police say it happened last July when the teenager and his girlfriend had a brief altercation with two males at the Guildford Mall in Surrey before they got on a bus.

The same alleged assailants got on the bus one stop later and continued the fight, stabbing the teenager in the stomach before running away.

Police say a 19-year-old Richmond man and a 17-year-old from Surrey have now been charged with aggravated assault.
