The Burnaby RCMP is investigating a stabbing outside Metrotown that sent a man to hospital with non-life threatening injuries Tuesday evening.

Emergency crews were called to the Burnaby mall after an altercation around 6:30 p.m.

It's not clear exactly where the stabbing occurred, but police taped off a section of the mall sidewalk in front of a McDonald's restaurant at the Kingsway entrance.

Police haven't said whether any arrests have been made.

The victim isn't cooperating with the investigation.
