Mounties are looking for witnesses after an assault of two men in a Surrey park that left one with life-threatening injuries.
They say officers responded on Sunday around 12:40 A-M to a report of a disturbance and arrived to find two victims.
Both of the men, who were aged 18 and 22, were brought to the hospital.
Police say they are canvassing C-C-T-V footage in the area, but are asking anyone who saw or heard anything suspicious between midnight and 1 A-M on September 8th to come forward.

He said it describes the federal government's plan to move the RCMP towards a federal police force "like the FBI in the United States."
