Social Sharing
Police are investigating two unprovoked assaults at a Surrey business Sunday morning that left one man in hospital and another injured.
Surrey Police Service (SPS) officers responded to the incident shortly before 11:30 a.m. at an unspecified business in the 6400 block of 120 Street.
Police say a man first physically assaulted a staff member, then attacked a bystander with a weapon, believed to be a knife, when they tried to intervene.
The staff member was treated at the scene, while the bystander was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, according to officials.
SPS says the suspect, who was not known to the victims, fled eastbound on 64 Avenue toward 121 Street.
He is described as a South Asian man, about 30 years old, six feet one inch tall, with a heavy build, wearing a light-coloured, possibly purple, hoodie, beige pants, and white shoes and may still be carrying a knife.
Surrey RCMP's Provincial Operations Support Unit is leading the investigation with SPS officers.
Police are asking anyone with information or video footage of the suspect to contact investigators immediately.
Authorities urge the public not to approach the suspect and to call 911 if they see him.

Man injured during Mental Health Act arrest in Surrey, B.C., watchdog says
Investigators from B.C.'s Independent Investigations Office are seen in this file photo from the IIO. A man was injured during a Mental Health Act arrest in Surrey, B.C., earlier this month, prompting an investigation by the province's police watchdog. The Independent Investigations Office of B.C. said the incident happened on the afternoon of May 9, while members of the Surrey RCMP Provincial Operations Support Unit were responding to a 'disturbance call' at a residential building near 34 Avenue and 152 Street. 'After arriving, officers located one man who had reportedly been in possession of a weapon and moved to detain him under the Mental Health Act,' the IIO said in a news release Tuesday. 'The man suffered injuries during the arrest process and was then taken to a hospital for treatment.' The watchdog didn't learn of the incident until May 21, when it was notified by the Surrey Police Service. It's unclear what led to the delay. An SPS spokesperson declined to comment when contacted by CTV News. An IIO spokesperson said these types of delays are typically the result of police being unaware of the severity of a person's injuries. 'Whether that was the case in this instance will be determined during the IIO investigation,' the spokesperson told CTV News, in an email. The IIO only investigates officer-involved incidents that result in death or serious harm, which includes injuries that cause serious disfigurement or disabilities. The watchdog is tasked with investigating those incidents whether or not there is any allegation of wrongdoing on the part of police.
