Surrey RCMP is investigating an assault that has left a 33-year-old man with serious injuries.

On Monday at 1:12 am, police were called to a residence in the 9000 block of 128 Street. Police located a man suffering serious injuries lying in the driveway of the residence.

Via a statement Mounties say the 33-year-old victim was taken to the hospital in critical condition. Police are working to determine what led up to the victim being assaulted and injured.
