Teens allegedly stab man in Langford after assaulting two 7-Eleven customers
Police in Langford, B.C., are hoping to identify a group of youth who are believed to have stabbed a man and assaulted two other people on Friday evening.
Mounties say they were first called to the 7-Eleven at 2978 Jacklin Rd. around 9 p.m. for reports of a group of intoxicated youth threatening customers in the store.
Police say the youth were "waving knives around" and threatening to stab two customers in the store.
The youth eventually punched the two customers before leaving, according to West Shore RCMP.
When officers arrived at the convenience store, they were told that a stabbing had occurred at the Esso gas station across the street.
Mounties went to the gas station and found a 30-year-old man suffering from a stab wound in his upper body. He had also been hit by a baton, police say.
"He was taken to the hospital where his injuries are still being assessed," said West Shore RCMP in a release Thursday.
Mounties are hoping to identify the youth allegedly involved in the attacks, particularly two teens who are suspected of committing the assaults.
