VANCOUVER – Police say a man has been charged with attempted murder and other offences after he allegedly used a knife to slash cars, then attacked a motorcyclist riding in North Vancouver, B.C., over the weekend.

RCMP say they received several reports Saturday afternoon about a man with a knife near an intersection south of the Deep Cove neighbourhood.

A statement issued by police spokesman Cst. Mansoor Sahak says the man damaged a number of cars before striking the motorcyclist on the helmet and causing him to fall off his bike near Mount Seymour Parkway and Deep Cove Road.
