Police have not yet shared whether or not the victim and suspect were known to each other or if it was another random attack.
The VPD has been busy with random attacks in Vancouver in recent weeks. Just last week police were investigating a random machete attack that occurred in Vancouver as two people were loading luggage into a taxi cab.
VPD is asking that anyone who witnessed the stabbing or has information related to it call investigators with the Vancouver Police Homicide Unit at 604-717-2500.
