Pair of hotel staffers stabbed

WHALLEY - Two staff members of a hotel in Whalley were stabbed 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.

 

The suspect 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.
