The assault came less than 24 hours after a 46-year-old man was found by RCMP in the 6400 block of 199 Street with a serious stab wound. He was also taken to hospital.
“We recognize that two stabbing incidents occurring on consecutive days are understandably concerning for the community,” said Sgt. Zynal Sharoom of the Langley RCMP. “Police can confirm that today’s incident is not related to the stabbing reported yesterday. Investigators believe this was a targeted incident.”
About two hours after the 2 p.m. incident on Friday, officers from the RCMP’s Special Response Team tracked down three male youths and one male adult and took them into custody, where they remain as investigators gather evidence.
Members of the Lower Mainland Integrated Emergency Response Team assisted the Langley RCMP in Thursday’s incident. A 36-year-old Langley man was arrested in Friday in relation to the incident and remains in custody.
Anyone with information can contact Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200 and quote file number 2026‑11555. Those with knowledge of Friday’s incident with the two youth can also call the detachment and quote file number 2026-1164.
