Burnaby RCMP have released a description of two men wanted in connection with Thursday night's stabbing in Central Park that left a man with life-threatening injuries.
The first suspect is described as a First Nations man, six feet tall, slim build, wearing a red shirt and blue pants and approximately 40 to 45 years old.
The second suspect is a Caucasian man, slim build, 40 to 45 years old, wearing a white shirt and blue shorts.
Police were called to a location in the park near the Patterson SkyTrain station at 8:39 p.m. PT Thursday. The male victim was taken to hospital.
A large area of the park was behind police tape late Thursday night.
The investigation is ongoing, but in a press release Burnaby RCMP say they "believe that this is an isolated occurrence and there is no risk to the public."
Earlier this month, an elderly man was found badly beaten in the park.
In July 2017, the body of 13-year-old Marrisa Shen was found in Central Park, just steps from her home. Police said her death was a "random" homicide.
