FILE 2023-6638: Port Moody Police are investigating a concerning incident which took place near a high school on Monday afternoon.
On November 20, 2023 witnesses contacted the Port Moody Police Department after observing an altercation between youth at a bus stop in the 1300 block of David Avenue, at about 3:30 p.m. the same date.
Witnesses reported a physical altercation between two youths, which escalated to one of the youths chasing the other with a large knife through a busy crowd of students. Thankfully the victim was able to flee to safety and there are no known injuries to any parties. Frontline officers arrested a 15-year-old youth suspect Monday evening and the investigation continues.
“This incident was so brazen and occurred as hundreds of youth were leaving school for the day” states Constable Sam Zacharias. “We are aware there is a video circulating of this incident and we know there are many witnesses who have yet to speak with us.”
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact Port Moody Police Department at 604-461-3456, or should they wish to remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
