2 men stabbed after meeting to 'conduct a transaction,' Surrey RCMP say
Authorities are investigating a stabbing in Surrey, B.C., that put two men in hospital Wednesday afternoon.
Surrey RCMP said officers responded to a report of a fight near 130A Street and 60 Avenue around 4:30 p.m., and arrived to find two men suffering stab wounds.
Both victims were taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
In a news release, the RCMP said the incident appears to have been targeted because "the victims were meeting with the suspects to conduct a transaction."
Authorities did not provide any further details on the nature of the transaction.
Investigators are now looking for three suspects – described as Black men in their late teens to early 20s – who fled the scene in a vehicle.
Surrey RCMP asked anyone with information on what happened, or dash-cam video captured in the area, to call the detachment at 604-599-0502.
