 At approximately 11:20 p.m., the victim was with a friend and his bike was resting nearby when an unknown youth allegedly grabbed it and rode away. The victim chased the suspect and attempted to recover the bike, at which point the suspect allegedly stabbed him in the abdomen.

 Vancouver Police were called shortly after the incident and located a suspect matching the provided description. He was several blocks away and still allegedly in possession of the stolen bicycle. When officers attempted to arrest the suspect, he was non-compliant. Officers deployed a bean bag shotgun and took the suspect into custody.

 The victim was transported to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

 The suspect, a 17-year-old youth, has been charged with one count of robbery and one count of assault with a weapon.
