VANCOUVER — Two police officers have suffered serious injuries while responding to a call on Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside.

Const. Tania Visintin says both officers were stabbed as they entered a suite while investigating a 911 call about the forcible confinement of a two-year-old.

Visintin says both officers are now listed in stable condition.

She says a struggle occurred at about 10 a.m. as the officers entered a residential suite and were confronted by a 59-year-old man.

One of the officers managed to fire a Taser during the struggle and Visintin says the unnamed victim was also taken to hospital.
