Man arrested at elementary school, waving knife
Police in Vancouver say a man was arrested after allegedly waving a knife while on elementary school grounds last week.
The Vancouver Police Department (VPD) says officers were called to Crosstown Elementary School in the city’s downtown just before 3 p.m. on Friday.
“The school grounds were packed with parents and children who were leaving classes for the day,” police said in a statement Tuesday.
Const. Tania Visintin tells 1130 NewsRadio that the suspect was already under conditions not to be in possession of knives.
She says the man was taken to jail and will be facing charges.
