Two men are in hospital for treatment of serious injuries after police received a report of a stabbing in Port Alberni on Monday afternoon.

Port Alberni RCMP say the report came in just after 1:30 p.m. in the 4th Avenue area, where several trailers are parked near the Wintergreen Apartments building.

When officers arrived at the scene, police say they found two men suffering from "significant injuries." Paramedics and firefighters were also in the area as RCMP worked to secure the scene.

Mounties say the investigation is ongoing, and officers are conducting neighbourhood inquiries, collecting witness statements, and are seeking any witness videos.
