A 33-year-old man from Surrey, B.C., was arrested in Stanley Park on Saturday after reports of a person throwing knives at a tree near Bridle Path and Lees Trail. Witnesses told CBC News that while walking in the area around 6:30 p.m PT on Saturday they heard a smacking noise and saw a man repeatedly throwing knives into a large tree trunk from about three metres away. Michael Connidis, who was walking with his friend, Zhigang Duan, said some of the knives became embedded in the tree. Bark has been scraped away from the trunk of this sequoia tree in Stanley Park. Stanley Park is known for giant fir and cedar trees, some of which are hundreds of years old.
