A man was left with “serious injuries” after an apparent attack on the SeaBus terminal in North Vancouver, and two teenagers were arrested after being found with machetes.
The North Vancouver RCMP is requesting witnesses to further its investigation into the June 1 incident, according to a statement issued Friday.
Police say they were called to the Lonsdale Quay area around 9:15 p.m. to report an “altercation” when they found a 26-year-old man seriously injured.
“An officer immediately provided first aid, applied a police tourniquet and called for paramedics,” a press release said.
“Police learned that the altercation involved a group of four to five people who had fled the scene before police arrived.”
Later that night, patrol officers saw two people who “matched the descriptions provided by witnesses,” the statement continues, adding that they were 17 and 13 years old. “It was found that everyone had a machete.”
The teenagers have been released into the custody of their guardians on condition that they do not possess weapons and stay away from the area near the SeaBus terminal.
Investigators are asking anyone with CCTV footage or images of the area to contact police by calling 604-985-1311.
Specifically, they are looking for videos made between 9 and 9:45 p.m. on June 1 from the East Esplanade between Lonsdale Avenue and St. George’s Avenue and from St. George’s Avenue between East Esplanade and East Second Street.
