Burnaby RCMP are investigating a stabbing in North Burnaby Wednesday afternoon.

Officers were called to the 4500 block of Georgia Street at about 2:20 p.m. and found a 19-year-old man suffering from stab wounds.

He was transported to hospital where he remains as of Thursday morning.

Investigators are still determining how many suspects there are, according to RCMP Cpl. Daniela Panesar, but they believe there to be more than one.

The victim and suspect (or suspects) are known to each other, according to Panesar, but police aren’t sure what motivated the attack.

“The investigation is still in the early stages,” she told the NOW, “so many details have not been confirmed.”
