A 24-year-old North Vancouver man is in custody, charged with attempted murder, following a stabbing at an address in the 5000 block of Ranger Avenue Friday night.

North Vancouver RCMP were called around 7:30 p.m. on Aug. 26 to a report of a stabbing at an address in the Canyon Heights neighbourhood, said Const. Mansoor Sahak, spokesperson for the detachment.

One man was taken to hospital and treated for non-life-threatening injuries, said Sahak. He has since been released.

Duncan Anthony Ian Milne was arrested at the scene and has since been charged with attempting to murder the man, who was identified in court records as his father, by stabbing him with a knife. Milne also faces a charge of causing bodily harm to the same victim.

Police did not provide any information about the motivation for the stabbing.

Sahak said police do not believe there is a risk to public safety, and the incident is not believed to be related to any ongoing gang conflict.

Milne remained in custody Tuesday with his next court appearance expected next week.
