Vancouver rundown for Tuesday, March 18, 2025.

00:00:04.519 --> 00:00:07.459
A man has been released from custody even though

00:00:07.459 --> 00:00:10.740
the RCMP say a Langley nurse was attacked by

00:00:10.740 --> 00:00:13.779
a suspect with a sharp -edged weapon. The Mounties

00:00:13.779 --> 00:00:15.880
say they were called to Langley Memorial Hospital

00:00:15.880 --> 00:00:19.219
just after midnight on March 8 after the nurse

00:00:19.219 --> 00:00:22.899
was assaulted. She is okay. The BC Nurses Union

00:00:22.899 --> 00:00:25.039
says it happened after the nurse tried to grab

00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:28.199
a knife from a patient, a 37 -year -old from

00:00:28.199 --> 00:00:31.539
Surrey, is expected to appear in court at a later

00:00:31.539 --> 00:00:36.039
date. Other news, that's not a drive -thru. Cleanup

00:00:36.039 --> 00:00:38.899
is underway after an SUV went through the front

00:00:38.899 --> 00:00:42.460
door of a TD Bank on Austin Avenue in Coquitlam

00:00:42.460 --> 00:00:44.880
Monday afternoon. The front door of the bank

00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:47.780
and the SUV heavily damaged. There's no word

00:00:47.780 --> 00:00:51.539
on any significant injuries. An arsonist has

00:00:51.539 --> 00:00:54.560
torched two Tesla charging stations on Vancouver

00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:57.679
Island. RCMP confirmed the two were part of a

00:00:57.679 --> 00:01:00.780
bank of eight chargers at Nanaimo's Woodgrove

00:01:00.780 --> 00:01:04.359
Centre. The arsons come as anger grows over Tesla

00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:08.340
owner Elon Musk and Donald Trump's anti -Canadian

00:01:08.340 --> 00:01:11.439
comments, as well as the tariffs on Canadian

00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:15.230
exports. and controversial executive orders in

00:01:15.230 --> 00:01:18.829
the U .S. Get ready to pay higher B .C. Hydro

00:01:18.829 --> 00:01:21.909
bills. As of April 1st, Hydro customers will

00:01:21.909 --> 00:01:26.090
be paying an extra 3 .75 % for each of the next

00:01:26.090 --> 00:01:29.250
two years. That is well above the rate of inflation.

00:01:29.530 --> 00:01:32.750
B .C. Hydro says the increase is due to inflation,

00:01:33.170 --> 00:01:36.650
U .S. tariffs, and the cost of the Site C Dam.

00:01:37.469 --> 00:01:40.530
However, the utility fails to fully explain how

00:01:40.530 --> 00:01:43.950
those contribute to the higher prices. A mix

00:01:43.950 --> 00:01:46.069

00:01:46.189 --> 00:01:49.549
