Mounties say two people were taken into custody following a stabbing in South Surrey that left a man seriously injured Tuesday morning.

According to police, officers responded to a report of a fight in the 900 block of 160 Street at around 8:50 a.m.

"Officers arrived and located a man suffering from apparent stab wounds," police said. "The victim was transported to hospital by air ambulance in serious, but stable condition."
