New Westminster – On May 15, 2014 at approximately 9:30 pm, the New Westminster Police received a call of a stabbing at an apartment building in the 400 block of 8th Street.
NWPD patrol officers responded to the scene and located an adult male victim suffering from stab injuries. The male was subsequently transported to a local area hospital where the injuries were determined to be non life-threatening. The victim remains in hospital in stable condition.
The NWPD Major Crime Unit has now taken over this investigation and is actively pursuing a number of avenues to locate the suspect involved.
