Vancouver police are looking for a suspect after multiple people were stabbed along the Yaletown seawall on Friday morning.
Initial evidence suggests the attacks were random and unprovoked, police stated in a release.
Police said they received 911 calls just after 7:30 a.m. of reports that multiple people had been injured along the seawall near David Lam Park.
Three victims were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
