Two teens have been charged in connection with a stabbing that took place at a Vancouver high school last month.

On Feb. 3, the Vancouver Police Department shared that an 18-year-old was stabbed after a high school basketball game at Eric Hamber Secondary School.

VPD said that the incident took place just after 9 p.m. as a basketball game between Eric Hamber and Killarney was wrapping up.

Eric Hamber is located on the west side of Vancouver, between Oak and Willow streets on West 33rd Avenue.

Based on new information from the VPD, it appears as though there were people who were victims. Officers from the VPD Youth Investigative and School Liaison Units worked to identify the youth suspects to make the arrests.

On March 5, VPD shared that charges were approved against two youths. The B.C. Prosecution Service approved charges of aggravated assault and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose against a 16-year-old, as well as one count of assault with a weapon against a 15-year-old.

Both individuals have been released on court-ordered conditions.

Following the February incident, videos were shared on social media, and the VPD asked anyone who took videos to submit them to a web portal.

VPD said that an 18-year-old male who was injured at the Vancouver high school was taken to the hospital and received medical treatment.
