Police have questions for a young man after he was stabbed near the New Westminster SkyTrain station Wednesday night.

Officers got the call around 10:45 p.m., and when they arrived, they found a man in his early 20s suffering from a non-life-threatening stab wound. While it’s still early in the investigation, police believe the man was stabbed during a fight with another young man, acting Sgt. Jeff Scott, spokesperson for the New Westminster Police Department, told the Record.

“We’re trying to get more information from the victim about details. At this point, the investigation is ongoing,” he said. “It appears to be an isolated event so no risks to the public at this time.”

The suspect, also in his early 20s, was not arrested. Investigators are waiting to speak with the victim before proceeding with any charges. Neither men are residents of New Westminster.
