Hey there, time traveller!

A man arrested in North Vancouver for randomly stabbing people at a library on the weekend was wanted in Winnipeg.
The suspect was taken into custody after Saturday’s rampage in which one woman was killed and six others were injured.
Yannick Bandaogo, 28, is in custody charged with second-degree murder and other offences.
In January, Bandaogo pleaded guilty in a Winnipeg court to two counts of uttering threats and one count of carrying a concealed weapon. He was sentenced to 160 days of time served, plus one year of supervised probation. Two charges of assault with a weapon were stayed.
The Winnipeg Police Service confirmed Tuesday a warrant was issued for Bandaogo’s arrest on Feb. 18 after he allegedly breached a condition of his probation.
Police in North Vancouver say they don’t know why Bandaogo was on the West Coast or why he went there.
Police arrested Bandaogo after five women and one man, ranging in age from 22 to 78, were attacked at the Lynn Valley Library.
Bandaogo has a court record in Quebec as well, where warrants have also been issued for his arrest after he allegedly breached court orders.
Bandaogo pleaded guilty to assault with a weapon causing bodily harm in September 2019, and a year earlier was sentenced to one month in jail for assaulting a police officer and resisting arrest in Longueuil, Que., a suburb of Montreal.
On the same day, he was sentenced to four months for assault causing bodily harm and three months in connection with two other assault cases.
