Police were called to the area of 151 Avenue and 93 Street after it was
reported that an unknown male threw an object at a homeowner’s window and then
allegedly attempted to stab him after being confronted. The homeowner luckily
did not sustain any serious injuries.
The accused fled down the
street, while allegedly vandalizing vehicles parked on the roadway, and
proceeded to stab another man who was on his front lawn. The 45-year-old victim
sustained non-life- threatening injuries but was treated by paramedics and
taken to hospital.
The accused continued to flee down the street and assaulted a third male, who was taking photos of the incident with his phone. The complainant managed to get away unharmed.
The accused then fled on his
skateboard and was last seen in the area of 88 Street and 137 Avenue.
Members found the accused around 1 p.m. in the area of 87 Street and 146 Avenue later the same day and pursued him on foot. The accused was combative with officers and a Taser had to be deployed to make the arrest. The accused was taken to hospital by EMS before being lodged in custody.
Investigators also determined that the accused allegedly tried to set fire to a vehicle previous to the above incidents. He is facing a charge of attempted arson as a result.
