Three people have non-life-threatening injuries after a stabbing along the Vancouver seawall in Yaletown Friday morning (Oct. 10).

Vancouver police were called after reports of multiple people stabbed along the seawall near David Lam Park just after 7:30 a.m., according to a news release from police. Three victims were found and taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. 

Police said the suspect fled the area before police were called and has not yet been found.

The suspect is described as an Indigenous woman, in her late 20s or early 30s. She's between five-foot-three and five-foot-seven, with a slim build. She had long, dark hair in a ponytail.

Police added that she was described to be wearing a large, oversized black leather jacket, tight, dark pants and either a leopard print shirt or scarf.

The release adds that initial evidence suggests the attacks were random and unprovoked. 

Vancouver police are asking for witnesses or anyone with relevant video footage to contact investigators at 604-717-7048.
