Rush-hour traffic had to be detoured through Vancouver's Downtown Eastside Thursday afternoon after reports of a stabbing in the area.
The incident occurred before 4 p.m. on Hastings Street between Carrall and Abbott streets.
Video from the scene showed a heavy police presence in the area and at least one person in custody. Cars and buses could be seen backed up along Hastings.
A witness at the scene told CTV News she saw a man who'd been stabbed in the neck, but authorities have provided no details about what happened.
It's unclear if anyone was injured or how many people were involved.
Hastings was closed in one direction, but reopened about an hour later. Carrall Street remained closed to traffic later into the afternoon.
