Surrey RCMP investigate double stabbing in Whalley

WHALLEY — Two staff members of a hotel in Whalley were stabbed early Wednesday morning while dealing with an unruly, unwanted guest.

Police said the suspect was trying to enter a room at Days Inn, in the 13300-block of King George Boulevard, shortly after midnight to see a guest when staff told him to come back later in the morning.

“He took exception to that,” Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet said.

One man suffered a stab wound to his leg and the other was stabbed in his side. Both were taken to hospital for stitches and were released a few hours later.

Paquet said investigators have “good leads” on the suspect, who ran from the scene. He is described as young, about six feet tall and very slender, with a dark complexion, and had been wearing a dark shirt and jeans.

Police ask anyone with information to contact the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502.
