A man was sent to hospital with non-life-threatening stab wounds after another attack in Burnaby’s Central Park Thursday.
Police were called to an area of the park near the Patterson SkyTrain station at about 8:30 p.m. for reports of a stabbing, according to a Burnaby RCMP press release.
Officers found one male victim, 22, who had been stabbed.
He was rushed to hospital for medical attention where he remains at this time in stable condition.
A large area of the park was behind police tape Thursday night.
Burnaby RCMP are now looking for two men, both between 40 and 45 years old.
The first suspect is described as First Nations and six feet tall with a slim build. He was wearing a red shirt and blue pants at the time of the attack.
The second man is described as Caucasian with a slim build. He was wearing a white shirt and blue shorts.
“The investigation is still in its early stages but police believe that this is an isolated occurrence and there is no risk to the public,” Burnaby RCMP Cpl. Daniela Panesar stated in the press release.
On July 15, a man in his 70s was left with life-altering injuries after being badly beaten in Central Park.
