At least 1 dead after knife-wielding attacker goes on stabbing rampage at Canadian library

At least one person was killed and several injured after a man armed with a knife charged at people inside and outside a public library in North Vancouver, Canada. The suspect has been apprehended.

An incident unfolded on Saturday afternoon local time at the Lynn Valley Library, a public library in the district of North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

“Multiple victims” were stabbed “inside and outside” the facility, police reported. Six people were taken to hospital in wake of the rampage, and one has since succumbed to their wounds.

The attacker, who police believe, acted alone, was apprehended in the vicinity of the library shortly afterwards. Footage has emerged on social media showing multiple police officers swooping in on a man, who appears to be carrying a knife. Moments before his arrest, the man collapses to the ground, with the person behind filming the video saying that “he’s cut himself.”

WARNING: DISTURBING VIDEO

 

It’s unclear if the stabbing suspect is the man in the video.
