Stabbing on transit bus in Surrey, B.C., leaves man critically injured
SURREY, B.C. — RCMP in Surrey, B.C., say a man has life-threatening injuries after he was stabbed while aboard a transit bus in the city.
Police say it happened just before 9:30 Tuesday night.
Investigators say the victim and his attacker had some sort of altercation while on the bus, not far from the King George SkyTrain station.
Police are still seeking witnesses but say it appears the stabbing is not related to Metro Vancouver’s ongoing gang conflict.
No arrests have been made.
The attack is the second similar stabbing in as many weeks aboard a transit bus in Surrey, although the first victim, whose throat was slashed on April 1, is now recovering at home.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published April 12, 2023.
