Vancouver police are investigating a stabbing that left a man seriously injured outside a liquor store.

Police said the incident happened around 10:30 p.m. Saturday in the Olympic Village outside the Legacy Liquor store on Manitoba Avenue, when a security guard encountered a group of suspected thieves as they were leaving.

Police said a 63-year-old man tried to intervene to help but was then stabbed by one of the suspects.

“I’m not a doctor, but it was described to me as arterial bleeding,” the sergeant said. Steve Addison of the Vancouver Police Department told Global News.

“Blood is gushing from his wrist or arm. Our officers applied a tourniquet to slow down the bleeding. “This allowed EHS to arrive and take the victim to the hospital where he received further treatment.”

Four men, ages 16 to 21, were arrested near Granville and Robson streets early Sunday morning.

Police said the men were later released on bail but said they would face criminal charges once the investigation is complete.
