Around 8:07 p.m. on April 23, Surrey RCMP responded to a report about a stabbing that occurred in the 13700 block of 97A Avenue.

At the location, officers found a 32-year-old male who was suffering from a stab wound. He was taken to hospital in serious condition with potentially life-altering injuries.

Investigators have determined thus far that an altercation between two individuals escalated into a stabbing.
