[QUOTE="Archived_Member16, post: 147080, member: 884"] [COLOR="Navy"]May 30, 2011 [B][SIZE="5"]Man brandishing sword taken down by police in downtown Vancouver[/SIZE][/B] By Sam Cooper, The Province - May 30, 2011 6:35 PM [IMG]http://www.theprovince.com/news/todays-paper/4863970.bin[/IMG] [I]Vancouver police and paramedics escort a man to a waiting ambulance after an incident at Burrard and Georgia streets on Monday[/I]. Photograph by: Ian Lindsa PNG Tasers and “non-lethal” rounds fired by police bounced harmlessly off a disturbed man who waved a three-foot sword and ran toward horrified onlookers in downtown Vancouver on Monday afternoon, before getting arrested. The explosive standoff shut down the Burrard and West Georgia streets intersection and had office workers, transit riders and tourists surging towards yellow police lines to watch the drama unfold. [B]A stocky Indo-Canadian man wearing a black turban[/B] and leather jacket had boarded the SkyTrain at Metrotown in Burnaby and rode all the way to Burrard Station while sheathing and unsheathing his ornate silver and gold-handled sword from a red protective case before Transit Police could confront and try to calm him. Vancouver police were called and a tense standoff ensued in front of Christ Church Cathedral on Burrard Street. Const. Lindsey Houghton said the unidentified man became “increasingly irrational,” refusing commands to drop the sword. VPD Emergency Response Team members fired about four “non-lethal” rounds from an Arwen gun, which is typically used to shoot rubber bullets. “The Arwen rounds were ineffective and the man continued to wave the sword,” Houghton said. Officers then shot Taser barbs at the man but police believe they were repelled by the man’s thick leather jacket, Houghton said. One woman who was just metres away told The Province that after hearing about four “dull pops” a crowd of onlookers started “slowly backing up. And then he starts running at us.” Another witness, Thiago Martins, said he saw the man run about 30 metres north on Burrard, avoiding one officer’s trip attempt before getting shoulder-checked to the ground and arrested. A Province reporter saw the suspect being walked scowling in handcuffs to a waiting ambulance at about 2:40 p.m. Houghton said the suspect is facing possible weapons-related charged and police will ask the courts to consider a psychological examination. “We’re hopeful the man gets the help he needs, and we’re very fortunate that no one got hurt,” he said. Transit Police Staff Sgt. Ken Schinkel said it seems the man made it past multiple stations from Metrotown to Burrard Station because the first call Transit Police received indicated the suspect was in the mall, not on the train, and officers were not able to locate him on transit surveillance cameras. “By the time we got the second call he was already at Stadium [SkyTrain] station,” Schinkel said. “We were kind of going in the wrong direction initially.” [email]scooper@theprovince.com[/email] © Copyright (c) The Province [B] source:[/B] [url]http://www.theprovince.com/news/todays-paper/brandishing+sword+taken+down+police+downtown+Vancouver/4863782/story.html[/url][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
