A suspect is at large following a late-night stabbing in Abbotsford that sent one man to hospital.
Two men were standing outside around 12:15 a.m. last night when they saw a man they believed was trying to break into cars on Landeau Place in central Abbotsford, Const. Ian MacDonald said.

He was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries, he said.
