Langley RCMP serious crimes division is still trying to properly identify the man who was found bleeding heavily from stab wounds in the 27000 block of Fraser Highway on Sunday morning.
He is in his mid-50s and believed to be from Langley, confirmed police spokesman Const. Craig van Herk.
But what he was doing in the roadway or who his attackers were are still unknowns, he said.
The man is still in serious condition in hospital.
The stabbing took place at about 1 a.m. and the victim was found by paramedics outside the Alder Alley bowling alley, in the 27000 block of Fraser Highway. The victim was in such serious condition he was taken by air ambulance to hospital.
Police were on the scene investigating and Fraser Highway was closed at that location well into the morning.
