  • Vancouver Police Arrest A Man Making Threats To Stab And Kill

Vancouver Police arrested a man on Thursday who was allegedly waving a weapon and making threats to kill police.


A citizen called 9-1-1 around 4 p.m. on July 25, after seeing a man behaving erratically and waving what appeared to be a knife near Kingsway and Victoria Drive. The suspect was allegedly threatening to stab and kill police.


VPD officers located a suspect nearby, and used a taser and bean-bag shotgun rounds during the arrest. No police or members of the public were injured.

The Independent Investigations Office is now investigating, and no additional information is available at this time.
