A teenager has been charged with assault for allegedly stabbing a taxi driver in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside last week.
The alleged attack happened last Tuesday, when Vancouver Police say an off-duty officer saw the stabbing near the intersection of Main and Hastings streets.
They say the officer then alerted on-duty police colleagues, who arrested a 16-year-old male.
Vancouver police say the teen suspect has now been charged with assault, assault with a weapon, possession of a weapon and assault causing bodily harm.
The suspect, a resident of Richmond, B.C., has been granted bail and was released from custody.
Police say the 59-year-old tax driver suffered non-life-threatening injuries and received treatment at hospital.
