Police say a man is in hospital after being stabbed in the parking lot of a bar and hotel in North Langley Friday night.
Langley RCMP were called to the Oak & Thorne Neighbourhood Public House in the 20100 block of 88 Ave., at 11:30 p.m., for reports of a stabbing.
A 20-year-old man from Surrey was found in the parking lot outside the nearby Sandman Hotel suffering from non-life-threatening injuries after an altercation between two groups leaving the bar. Police said the groups appear to know each other and that alcohol was likely involved.
The victim, who is known to police, was taken to hospital where he remains.
The bar shares a parking lot with the Sandman Hotel. The area was closed off overnight as police investigated.
Police say investigators are reviewing surveillance footage to identify the suspects.
The manager of the Oak & Thorne would not comment on the incident or what may have led to the altercation.
In a statement to Global News, the CEO of the Joseph Richard Group that owns the bar said the company is working with RCMP during the investigation.
“Some of the individuals involved in the incident were previously in our establishment earlier in the evening and left without incident,” Ryan Moreno said.
“Later, our door team noticed the altercation near the Sandman and rushed over to break it up. Another staff member who is currently training to be a paramedic assisted until the ambulance arrived.”
Anyone with information about the altercation Friday night or the people involved is asked to contact Langley RCMP.
