New Westminster police are asking the public for help as they investigate a stabbing that occurred in the city's Queensborough neighbourhood nearly a week ago.
No suspects have been arrested in connection to the Aug. 1 stabbing, which occurred in the 800 block of Ewen Avenue around midnight, the New Westminster Police Department told CTV News on Wednesday.
In a news release, the NWPD said the initial 911 call was about a fight in the area. When officers arrived, they found a man who 'appeared to be the victim of a stabbing,' police said.
Responding officers provided first aid, 'including efforts to control bleeding,' and the victim was taken to hospital by B.C. Emergency Health Services, according to the NWPD.
Police said they believe the altercation occurred near a bus stop, adding that the department's Major Crime Unit is investigating.
'We know residents may have noticed an increased police presence in the area, and we want to assure the community that this was an isolated incident,' said Sgt. Andrew Leaver, in the release.
'Our officers responded quickly and are working to determine what led to the altercation.'
