A BC-wide arrest warrant has been issued for a man accused of threatening to stab a security guard with a knife last summer, and Vancouver Police are asking for the public’s help to locate him.

Mohammed Adada, 44, is wanted for assault with a weapon after he failed to attend a court appearance.

The charge relates to an incident that occurred on August 30 in Champlain Heights, when a security guard asked a man to move along and was threatened with a knife. VPD officers arrested Adada after that incident and took him to jail. He was charged, then released on bail by the courts, but has since failed to return to court.

Adada has already been convicted for five different assaults since May 2021. He is considered dangerous and a threat to public safety.  Members of the public are advised not to approach him if he is seen.

Anyone who sees Mohammed Adada, or knows of his whereabouts, is asked to call 9-1-1 immediately.
