Multiple victim stabbing at Centennial Square. Whole area is surrounded by police. Suspect described as a while male wearing a black hat, dark grey sweater and riding a BMX bike. Possibly last seen on the Galloping Goose heading towards the trestle.

Wow really seems to be the place for stabbings this year

[Mike K.]

Could be up to three victims. The entire square has been cordoned off. Police are concentrating on the bathroom at the square.

Now there's a fist fight on a transit bus. Sheesh.

Yes we have a bit of video. Centennial Square is a definite hell hike these days. Hope the kids love those temporary or orcas.

It was mayhem last night but the police did what they do really well. It sounded like the stabbing occurred in the bathroom.

Is it time to tell the mayor and council that enough is enough? This criminality is happening in front of city hall and the dvba office. This should be the safest, most welcoming area.

Let’s call a snap protest for this afternoon to take back the Square.

Say... 4:20pm?

That sounds like a great time.

That's the sad reality; unless you're stoned out of your mind, why would anyone spend time in Centennial Square?

My mom’s neighbour returned to her home at 3PM yesterday to find her shed had been broken into and several thousand dollars worth of landscaping equipment stolen. This would have happened between the hours of 11 and 3PM.

They smashed a window to unlock the shed door from inside.

That's disappointing about the break-in. I don't trust "no one at no time".

That's a double-negative though.  It means you do trust someone at some time.

Well all the mayhem and violence plays into VicPDs demand for more money and officers.

What's with the police giving you a bit of a spanking on twitter?

[Mike K.]

VicPD’s version of events (as reported by CFAX) is downplaying last night’s mayhem as an “assault with a weapon” with “non life-threatening injuries.”

Well we know from whom the VicPD gets their marching orders, don't we?

^Police are specifically saying VV's reported description of the suspect is incorrect but they are not giving any further clarification.

[VicHockeyFan]

It's all fabrication vs. design again.

 

VicPD thinks Mike is fabricating information, Mike thinks VicPD is designing their releases to minimize the seriousness.

^Police are specifically saying VV's reported description of the suspect is incorrect but they are not giving any further clarification.

 

Do they think getting the description right within 48 or 72 hours will help with a speedy apprehension of a suspect?
