The man suspected of stabbing a fellow passenger on the SkyTrain in Surrey earlier this month has been arrested and released on conditions, according to transit police.
The suspect, a 29-year-old man from Burnaby, has not yet been charged, Metro Vancouver Transit Police said in a news release Monday. They said they would be recommending charges of assault with a weapon and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose.
MVTP did not name the man in their statement, saying only that he is "known to police."
The stabbing occurred Saturday, April 15, shortly before 1 a.m. The 24-year-old male victim and his girlfriend were on a SkyTrain between Gateway and Surrey Central stations when there was "an interaction" between the victim and another passenger, according to police.
"As a result of that interaction, the suspect allegedly stabbed the victim with a sharp object," the MVTP release reads.
"The victim was met by Emergency Health Services at Surrey Central Station and taken to hospital while the suspect continued on the train to King George Station, where he exited the transit system."
Last week, transit police shared photos and video of the suspect, appealing to the public for help identifying him.
