A man remains in custody after members of a gang unit based in the Lower Mainland intervened in a stabbing while in Prince George.
Robert Gordon Michael Elliott, 42, has been charged with robbery, aggravated assault, assault with a weapon and assault causing bodily harm from an alleged May 23 incident.
Elliott was arrested by members of the Uniform Gang Enforcement Team while in the city to carry out checks on suspected drug dealers, and in the process, witnessed a stabbing.
"Officers immediately intervened to stop the assault, called for medical assistance for the victim and apprehend the suspect," police said at the time.
A branch of the B.C. Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit, UGET is based in the Lower Mainland but is regularly deployed to communities across the province.
Elliott, who also faces a count of assault from an alleged February 2 incident in Prince George, has a lengthy record from crimes committed in Terrace.
