"Despite life-saving efforts by VPD, BC Ambulance Service and Vancouver Fire Rescue Services, the victim was taken to hospital where he succumbed to his injuries and died," the statement continues.
Chaput tells CTV News he saw a police officer locate a knife in the nearby Vancouver Transit Centre employee parking lot.
“It looked like a weapon,” said Chaput. “It was a knife where the blade would click out – it wasn’t a switch blade, but it was a bigger knife – a folding knife, I guess you would call it, with a kind of brown wood on it.”
