Homicide investigators have identified a man killed in New Westminster, B.C., in a fight on Friday.
Police say they responded to a fight on Bole Street between 10th and Maple streets around 9:20 p.m. and found a man suffering from stab wounds.
He was transported to Royal Columbian Hospital where he died from his injuries.
