RCMP in Surrey say a teenager has been charged in a pair of apparently random stabbings last month.
In a Thursday media release, police said the first attack happened on Jan. 16, when a woman was stabbed by an unknown person on 84 Avenue near 122 Street.
One week later, on Jan. 23, Delta police were called to a woman who had also been stabbed by an unknown person on 120 Street near 80 Avenue.
Police said both victims were hurt but are expected to survive.
