Police and paramedics were called to a commercial plaza on Cross Avenue just before 6 p.m. on Aug. 22 after an employee of a business was stabbed by an unknown suspect.

The victim was taken to hospital to undergo surgery for a stab wound and has since been released.

Investigators say they believe the victim was involved in a road rage incident that may have been a catalyst to the violent attack.
