North Vancouver RCMP are looking for a suspect they say stabbed a man while he was sleeping at a bus stop early Thursday morning.
The incident happened around 5:30 a.m. at the bus shelter on the south side of Marine Drive near Capilano Road, according to a release from the RCMP.
The victim ran away and called for help. Police and paramedics found him near the Petro Canada station across the street and took him to hospital, where he was treated for serious but not non-life threatening stab wounds.
North Vancouver RCMP spokesperson Const. Mansoor Sahak said police have been able to get only limited information about the incident from the victim. But it’s possible the two had had interactions before, Sahak added.
As of Thursday afternoon, there was no suspect description and there is no clear motive in the stabbing, police said.
Investigators are looking for witnesses and drivers with dash cams who may have been in the area of Marine Drive and Capilano Road between the hours of 5 and 5:30 a.m. on Sept. 5.
“As the investigation in its very early stages, there are a lot of unanswered questions that police are seeking answers for,” Sahak said. “Investigators are appealing to the public and travelling motorists in an effort to help further the investigation.”
