Police are searching for a suspect after a security guard was viciously stabbed early Tuesday morning in Port Coquitlam.
The security guard is in hospital with non-life threatening injuries but has not been able to provide investigators with much information about the suspect or what led to the attack, said Cpl. Jamie Chung, Coquitlam RCMP spokesperson.
"His health is the first priority at this point," Cpl. Chung said. "We will be talking to him when he gets better."
Police were called to at Chine Drive and Burleigh Avenue, off Kingsway Avenue and east of Northside Grace Church, at around 12:30 a.m. Tuesday when someone reported that someone was assaulting the guard. Officers found the injured man and quickly searched the area but they were unable to find the suspect.
"We are still investigating," Chung said. "At this point, without a lot of information to go on, we are simply urging people to call us."
Any residents in the area who witnessed the attack can contact police at 604-945-1550 and quote file number 2013-10957. Those who wish to remain anonymous can call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or go online at www.solvecrime.ca.
