VPD investigating stabbing in the Downtown Eastside

Vancouver Police have blocked off a portion of the Downtown Eastside after reports of a stabbing in the area.
One person is reportedly in custody, though no details have been released about the incident, which occurred just before 4 p.m. 
VPD quickly established a heavy police presence, closing off a block of Hastings Street between Carrall and Abbott, snarling traffic in the area.
Hastings has since reopened. Only Carrall Street remains closed to traffic.
More to come.
