WHALLEY — Two staff members of a hotel in Whalley were stabbed early 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 a few hours later.
Paquet said investigators have “good leads†on the suspect, who ran from the scene. He 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.
