Sentencing has been delayed a second time for a Surrey man who was involved in a violent road rage incident in May 2016.
Michael Andrew Carreiro was charged with assault with a weapon following the incident.
He was due to be sentenced in June of this year but sentencing was delayed until today and has now been delayed again until Sept. 27.
Surrey RCMP say it appears Carreiro attacked a man in the 12100-block of 72 Avenue on Mother’s Day in 2016, first punching the victim, then stabbing him. He fled the scene and was last spotted heading north on the 12100-block of 75 Avenue.
“What started as a simple traffic incident quickly escalated into a life-threatening situation for the victim,” RCMP Cpl. Scotty Schumann said in a statement at the time.
The suspect and victim did not know each other.
The victim was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries.
