The quick delivery of CPR is crucial during emergencies. A 42-year old man is in critical condition after involvement in a stabbing ordeal. The incident involved another passenger on a transit bus.
After receiving several 911 calls, the Richmond RCMP responded to an incident on a Coast Mountain bus. Based on the video on social media, the paramedics are seen delivering CPR to the victim in the doorway of the vehicle.
The violence reportedly broke out just before 2 PM. The bus pulled over across the street from the Aberdeen Canada Line station. The RCMP closed off No. 3 Road, Eastbound, near Cambie Road for several hours as the investigation of the incident continued. The officers retrieved the vehicle so that they can gather forensic evidence.
It has been alleged that there was a physical altercation between two passengers. The police are uncertain on what triggered the fight or if the pair knew each other.
The man from Richmond who sustained injuries was transported to a healthcare facility by emergency medical personnel suffering from critical stab wounds while the 22-year old man responsible for the injuries was arrested.
