Vancouver police officers arrest a 46-year-old man following unprovoked attacks that sent two people to hospital on Wednesday. Days after his release from a provincial jail for threatening to kill Canada's deputy prime minister, a Vancouver man with a history of mental illness is behind bars again — accused of stabbing a stranger in the heart of the city.
Meades was also charged — but not convicted — with threatening RCMP Commissioner Mike Duheme at the same time. Shortly after his return, he was charged with threatening a number of family members. He was sentenced for those offences at the same time he was sent to jail for threatening Freeland. At around 8:40 a.m. police received a report of a man being attacked by a stranger. Following that they got another report of a man entering a coffee shop and causing a disturbance — a window was broken.
Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim spoke to reporters Thursday about the importance of public safety following a random attack in the downtown core. He went on to stress "historic investments" his council has put into the Vancouver Police Department — stressing resources for mental health teams.
