Vancouver police are releasing a video of a recent stabbing in the hopes that someone will know the suspect.
A 47-year-old man was stabbed in front of the Astoria Hotel early Tuesday morning, police said.
Police were originally called by a witness after two men were seen fighting just after 2 a.m. outside the hotel on East Hastings Street.
During the altercation, the victim was stabbed, police said, and the suspect then walked west on Hastings Street.
“The victim was taken to hospital where, thankfully, he was treated for non-life-threatening injures,” Const. Tania Visintin with the Vancouver police said. “We want to speak with the other person involved and anyone else who may have seen this altercation take place.”
