Surrey RCMP are hoping someone recognizes a pair who are suspects in two incidents in Surrey on Wednesday night.
In the first incident, a 37-year-old man got into a verbal altercation with a male and female and was subsequently stabbed once in the abdomen near King George and 106th Avenue in Surrey. The man was taken to hospital and is currently in stable condition.
The victim told police he did not know the male or female suspects and did not explain the context of the argument.
A short time later, a man filling up at a gas station at the intersection of King George Blvd and 104th Avenue in Surrey was held up at knife point and his car stolen by two suspects with similar descriptions to the previous incident.
The driver of a Blue 2003 Dodge Caravan was approached by a man and woman with the man producing a small machete-type weapon. The couple threatened the driver and was told to hand over the keys to his van.
Just as the attackers were getting in, two other men, described as white males in their mid 20s, came up and began arguing with the male attacker. One of the white males got into the van and drove off.
The couple were last seen walking off southbound on King George Blvd, and the van sped off northbound. The other white male was last seen walking off northbound on King George Blvd.
About 10 minutes later, a man called police saying he had been stabbed while walking on King George Blvd.
