SURREY (NEWS1130) – Two teenage girls are facing a number of charges after a stabbing spree at SkyTrain stations around the Lower Mainland last night.
It started at Gateway Station around 11:30 p.m. The 14- and 15-year-old girls apparently got into a fight with two other women outside the station.
Anne Drennan with Transit Police says the one of the older women involved in the argument was stabbed. The teens then got back onto the train to Columbia Station.
Drennan tells us the girls are accused of then confronting a woman on the train, “threatening her with an eight-inch serrated steak knife and stabbing a train seat.”
It didn’t end there; the girls and the victim got off at Columbia Station, where the same woman was punched. The teens then rode to Joyce Station, where a man holding a pizza box was stabbed.
“He was fortunately able to use the box to defend himself and ended up receiving a small cut to one of his fingers,” says Drennan.
None of the victims were seriously hurt.
The girls ran from the station, but were soon picked up by police. They could be charged with several offences, including assault with a weapons, assault causing bodily harm, and threatening.
