North Vancouver RCMP have arrested a man for a double stabbing that occurred outside Sailor Hagar’s pub in Lower Lonsdale.
Police say the were called to the 100 block of Semisch Avenue just after 2 a.m. on Sunday, April 13. First responders found two victims at the scene suffering from stab wounds. The injuries were serious but non-life-threatening, according to the RCMP. They were taken to hospital for treatment.
Police arrested a suspect two days later. As charges have not yet been sworn by the Crown, his name is not being released, however the RCMP say he was on parole at the time. Because of that, he is being held in custody while the RCMP’s serious crimes division continues its investigation.
“As the investigation is in its very early stages, there are a lot of unanswered questions that police are seeking answers for,” said Cpl. Mansoor Sahak, North Vancouver RCMP spokesperson. “What we do know is that there was a dispute inside the liquor establishment between the parties, who were known to each other, before the alleged assault occurred.”
Anyone who has not yet spoken to the police and witnessed the incident, is asked to call police at 604-985-1311 and quote file # 25-7227.
