Two Vancouver police officers are in hospital after being stabbed while responding to a forcible confinement involving a two-year-old in Chinatown.
Police say the incident happened at 10 a.m. Monday, at a residential building near Keefer Street and Gore Avenue.
The officers allegedly entered the suite where a struggled ensued with a 59-year-old man. During the altercation, police say a Taser was used on the man.
