Shooting and Stabbing on Sunday in Whalley

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 01 May, 2023 12:21 PM

Mounties in Surrey say a man is in hospital in stable condition after being stabbed for a second time in as many weeks.

They say officers responded to a call on Sunday evening just before 6 p.m. and found the 24-year-old victim with life-threatening injuries after being stabbed.

The victim's condition has since stabilized, and police say it appears he was attacked by multiple male suspects who arrived in a taxi and confronted the victim before the attack took place.

Police say the same victim was stabbed on April 15th while travelling through Surrey on SkyTrain with his girlfriend, and investigators have not identified the attacker in either case.

At approximately 8:00 p.m the same day., a shooting in a residential driveway located in the 10700-block of City Parkway was reported. Police attended and located a 36-year-old male victim suffering from non-life-threatening injuries.

Three male suspects were seen fleeing the area on foot, but despite police efforts, were not located. The motive for the shooting has yet to be determined, however the victim is known to police.
