Port Moody Police arrest knife brandishing teen

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 21 Nov, 2023 01:25 PM

Police in Port Moody are investigating after arresting a 15-year-old who allegedly brandished a knife while chasing another teen through a crowd of students at a busy bus stop.

Police say it happened yesterday afternoon (in the 13-hundred block of David Avenue) when a fight between two young people escalated into the armed chase.

The youth being chased was able to escape unhurt, and police say officers arrested the knife-wielding suspect last night.

Investigators say video of the chase might be circulating and they are asking witnesses to contact them.
