Police in Vancouver are appealing to the public for information after a serious assault in the city's Downtown Eastside neigbourhood.

They say it happened just after 1:30 a-m, when officers were called to reports of a man with life-threatening injuries near the intersection of Main and Hastings.

Police say investigators believe the attacker and the suspect knew each other, and there's no risk to public safety.

They say no arrests have yet been made, and anyone with information is asked to contact the Vancouver Police Department.
