NEWTON – A 30-year-old man has been arrested after another was stabbed in the neck and arm in Surrey Sunday night.

Surrey RCMP were called to the incident, in the 14300-block of 72nd Avenue, just before 8 p.m.

A witness at the scene said the man had a serious stabbing injury to his neck and described emergency responders keeping pressure on the wound.
