#VPDNews: Vancouver Police arrested a 45-year-old man following an alleged armed road rage incident in South Vancouver yesterday afternoon.
On October 20 at approximately 12:00 p.m., VPD received a report of an incident near Fraser Street and East 45th Avenue. The victim reported she was driving and slowed down for a speed bump, prompting a male driver behind her to begin tailgating. The man then passed her on the left, stopped in front of her vehicle and approached her window. She alleged he produced what appeared to be a black handgun and pointed it at her before driving away.
With the assistance of responding surveillance and the VPD Emergency Response Team (ERT), officers located the suspect vehicle parked near Knight Street and East 57th Avenue. A man matching the description of the suspect was walking away from the vehicle. Officers observed the man discard an object in the west lane of Knight Street, near East 57th Avenue. The man returned to the parked vehicle and drove away. ERT members successfully disabled the vehicle about a block away and took him into custody without incident.
Officers recovered a BB gun in the laneway at the location they had observed the man discarding something.
“This was a frightening ordeal for a driver simply going about her day," said Constable Darren Wong. "Thanks to the quick response and action of our officers, we were able to safely take the suspect into custody and recover the weapon."
Rahat Arshad Ali, 45, has been charged with assault with a weapon, uttering threats, and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, and using an imitation firearm in the commission of an offence. He remains in custody awaiting a bail hearing.

#VPDNews: Crown Counsel has approved a charge of assault after Vancouver Police Department (VPD) officers witnessed a man push an 86-year-old woman to the ground in the Downtown Eastside.
The incident happened Saturday afternoon on Hastings Street near Columbia Street while VPD District 5 officers were conducting proactive patrols.
Officers saw the man allegedly shove the elderly woman, who was using a walker for mobility. The woman fell to the ground and suffered a cut to her forehead. Officers immediately arrested the suspect while the woman received medical treatment from EHS. The senior was later transported to hospital. She is expected to make a full recovery.
“Proactive policing works,” said Sergeant Adam Donaldson. “In the absence of video evidence capturing the incident, the next best thing was the officers’ observations, which led to a swift arrest.”
Felix Harris, 40, has been charged with one count of assault.
The Vancouver Police Department has seized 328.55 kg of cocaine worth an estimated $5.8 million from a shipping container in southeast Vancouver -- the largest-ever cocaine seizure in the city.
Police were called to a Vancouver-based company on July 21, after staff located 14 duffle bags of drugs hidden amongst boxes of t-shirts. The shirts were a legitimate order to the company.
“Obviously, the business was shocked by what it found. They called police right away and are in no way associated with the seized cocaine,” said Sergeant Travis Fraser, of the VPD’s Drug Unit. “This amount of drugs, as well as the stamps and packaging, clearly indicates organized crime is behind the shipment.”
The investigation has shown the shipping container originated in Honduras on May 18, 2026. It was loaded onto a vessel, then stopped in Jamaica on June 6, 2026, before arriving in Montreal on July 5, 2026.
“We believe the cocaine was supposed to be removed prior to its arrival at the company. For some reason, it was not unloaded,” said Fraser.
VPD continues to liaise with law enforcement and port authority counterparts in Canada, Honduras, Jamaica, the United States Drug Enforcement Agency, and the RCMP as the investigation continues.

It was just after 1 a.m. on January 6, 2026, and Vancouver Police Sergeant Calvin Leung was investigating a missing person. He was flagged down by the residents of 25 E. Hastings Street, who reported their building was on fire.
Sergeant Leung requested Vancouver Fire Rescue Services, grabbed the fire extinguisher from his patrol vehicle, and entered the building. As he reached the second floor, the heavy black smoke severely limited visibility and made breathing extremely difficult.
Despite these hazardous conditions, he carried on and located the source of the fire in one of the suites. A man sat next to a burning mattress, but he was unresponsive. Sergeant Leung entered the room and used his fire extinguisher to put out most of the fire. He grabbed the man by the arms and helped him into the hallway, where the sergeant was forced to the floor by the smoke. He was unable to carry the man further.
Constables Tristan Roest and Riley Sidoni arrived and did not hesitate to enter the building. It was difficult to see and to breathe as they arrived on the second floor, where they found Sergeant Leung on the ground. They helped him to his feet and escorted him outside to the fresh air. Firefighters carried the unresponsive resident to safety and extinguished the remainder of the fire.
All three officers suffered smoke inhalation. Sergeant Leung had the most severe effects and was treated by paramedics at the scene.
For his decisive, life-saving actions, and dedication to public safety under extreme conditions, Sergeant Calvin Leung was awarded the Vancouver Police Department’s highest award for bravery, the Award of Valour.
