One stabbed, four arrested after fight involving 30 teens in Metro Vancouver

One person was stabbed and four people were arrested after a large brawl in New Westminster earlier this month.

According to New Westminster Police, the incident took place on April 10 around 8 pm, when officers responded to a report of a large fight between approximately 30 youth.

Upon their arrival, officers located armed suspects who had originally fled the scene using public transit. “All four suspects were arrested and their guardians notified,” police said.
