One person is in custody after three stabbings in Vancouver, while the deaths of two women in the city are also being investigated.
Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim is calling the events "deeply unsettling."
Police say the stabbing attacks appear to be random, and there's no indication that the victims knew each other or their attacker.
The safety and well-being of every Vancouverite is not just a priority...it’s our commitment.

Monday's stabbings happened the same day a woman's body was found on the south side of English Bay and one day after the body of another woman was found on the opposite shore.
