CHARGES have been approved against two youths in relation to a stabbing after a basketball game at Eric Hamber Secondary School on February 2.
Officers from VPD’s Youth Investigative and School Liaison Units worked together to identify two suspects and make the arrests.
The B.C. Prosecution service has approved charges of aggravated assault and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose against a 16-year-old, and one count of assault with a weapon against a 15-year-old.
Both youths have been released on court ordered conditions.
Last month, Vancouver Police told The VOICE that five youths had been identified and arrested in relation to the fights at the Eric Hamber Secondary game on February 2.
“These parties have been released to the care of their guardians and the investigation is ongoing,” said Constable Darren Wong.
He added: “Our school liaison officers are working collaboratively with VSB staff to support students and are expected to be in attendance for future games.”
The assault occurred shortly after 9 p.m. on February 2 as a game between the Eric Hamber Secondary and Killarney Secondary basketball teams was concluding.
Police believe fights broke out between spectators, resulting in an 18-year-old boy being stabbed in the arm. The stabbing victim was taken to hospital and received medical treatment.
