The Delta police are on the hunt for two suspects in the stabbing of a teenager outside the Sungod Recreation Centre in Delta on Tuesday night.
Police were called to the 7800-block of 112th Street near the centre at about 8:30 p.m., said Sgt. Sharlene Brooks with the Delta Police Department.
Police say the 18-year-old victim was approached by two unknown men wearing balaclavas. They stabbed him multiple times, stealing an iPod and other items in the process.
The victim then made his way to the recreation centre where staff sprang into action, rendering first aid and calling 911.
The teen was rushed to hospital and is now in stable condition and expected to survive.
Delta Police Major Crime Section was immediately called in and the K-9 unit was deployed to assist patrol officers with the investigation.
Investigators believe the robbery happened at the north west end of the property, nearest to the arena. They think the suspects fled on foot through the parking lot towards Larson Road area.
The suspects are described as wearing dark clothing and both wearing balaclavas. They are believed to be in their late teens or early 20s.
