A man has been charged with allegedly assaulting a nurse at a Metro Vancouver hospital in an incident police say left her seriously injured last month.

Police in Port Moody say a charge of assault causing bodily harm has been approved against a 41-year-old man with no fixed address.

He is scheduled to appear in court in Port Coquitlam on Feb. 10.

Investigators say the man was arrested after officers responded to a call at Eagle Ridge Hospital on Nov. 20 about a discharged patient who allegedly attacked a female nurse.

Police say they arrested the man immediately after the alleged attack.

The statement from Port Moody Police says the nurse sustained "serious injuries" but did not elaborate on her condition or additional circumstances surrounding the assault.

The British Columbia government is committing $600,000 to expand its forensic firearms laboratory, saying the investment is aimed at strengthening police efforts as extortion-related violence escalates in parts of the province. The Ministry of Public Safety says the funding will improve the lab’s capacity and speed in processing firearms evidence tied to gun crime, allowing investigators to prioritize high-risk files and move extortion-related charges through the justice system more quickly. The expanded lab is also expected to generate data that can better support coordinated policing strat

Japan PM Takaichi calls snap election months after taking office

Japan’s Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi has dissolved the country’s lower house of Parliament, triggering a snap federal election scheduled for Feb. 8, just three months after she took office. The decision is widely seen as an effort to take advantage of early public support for Takaichi and to help the long-governing Liberal Democratic Party recover from significant electoral losses suffered in recent years. Analysts say the move carries political risk but could strengthen the government’s mandate if voters respond positively. The snap election, however, will delay parliamentary debate on
