A 29-year-old Burnaby man has been arrested in connection with an attack on a SkyTrain passenger in Surrey earlier this month.

A statement from Transit Police says the suspect was arrested Friday -- but has been released and ordered to return to court on June 14th.

Officers are recommending a charge of assault with a weapon and one count of possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose.

Police say a man and his girlfriend were on SkyTrain at about 1 a.m. on April 15th when they say the suspect stabbed and injured the man -- prompting an appeal for information as an investigation was underway.
