Kenneth Stephen Solowan, 37, is now the subject of a B.C.-wide warrant after disappearing from the residential treatment facility in Surrey where he was ordered to live.

Solowan is charged with two counts of aggravated assault, for allegedly slashing two people with a machete as they were loading luggage into a taxi on East Hastings Street on June 19.

The victims, a 49-year old man and 38-year-old woman who suffered head and neck wounds, told police they did not know their attacker.

Police arrested Solowan on Aug. 10, and he remained in custody until his release on bail Sept. 29. Police say he disappeared shortly afterward.

Investigators say Solowan is known to spend time in Chinatown and the Downtown Eastside.
