@keilijay It was our last night in Canada and we went to crab a bite. When we were done with dinner and looked over the patio, English bay looked like a scene from action movie. As we heard, two girls got stabbed. Hope they’ll be okay 🥺 It’s terrifing what a night out in Vancouver could be like. #englishbay #englishbaybeach #vancouver #vancouverbc #crazystuff ♬ Bad Boys (Theme from Cops) - Inner Circle
