A suspect has been identified and charged in relation to a stabbing that occurred in Whalley on Thursday.

On August 22 at 7:12 p.m., Surrey RCMP responded to a report of an alleged assault with a weapon in the 10500-block of King George Boulevard. Frontline officers attended the area and located a male victim with non-life threatening injuries. The victim was transported to hospital.

Frontline officers conducted multiple interviews and learned that the suspect was known to the victim. The suspect was identified as 44-year-old Sukhjit Hans. Hans was arrested shortly after in the 10700-block of King George Boulevard.
