One man is in custody and another isn’t likely to survive after a brutal attack in New Westminster.
Police found the badly injured victim in the area of 23rd Street and 8th Avenue at around 7:45 p.m. Tuesday night.
The man was transported to hospital in serious condition. Another man is in custody in connection with the assault, according to IHIT spokesman Bari Emam.
Details are few and far between, and the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team has taken over what will mostly likely be deemed a homicide.
“Unfortunately his prognosis at the hospital is not very good,” Emam said.
Police are asking anyone who may have seen something in the area between 7 and 8 p.m. last night to give them a call at 1-877-551-4448 or call Crime Stoppers 1-800-222-8477.
