Police say an altercation between two youth outside a Port Moody high school almost turned violent on Monday (Nov. 20), when one of the youth pulled out a knife and started chasing after the other one.
Witnesses to the incident told police the dispute broke out at a bus stop near Heritage Woods Secondary School at about 3:30 p.m. Things escalated when one of the youth pulled out a large knife and ran after the second youth, chasing them through a busy crowd of students, according to the Port Moody Police Department.
Police say the victim was able to get away and no one was injured. Officers arrested a 15-year-old later in the day.
“This incident was so brazen and occurred as hundreds of youth were leaving school for the day. We are aware there is a video circulating of this incident and we know there are many witnesses who have yet to speak with us,” Const. Sam Zacharias said in a statement.
The department is asking anyone with information to reach out to them or Crime Stoppers, to report anonymously.
