VICTORIA -- Investigators with the Victoria Police Major Crimes Unit are on the lookout after a man suffered serious injuries during a stabbing in Victoria over the weekend.
The incident took place just after 7:30 p.m. Sunday in the 900-block of Pandora Avenue.
When officers arrived, they found a man who had been stabbed multiple times and was suffering from "potentially life-threatening injuries."
Fortunately, bystanders in the area helped the man and provided him with medical attention until paramedics arrived, say police. The victim was later taken to hospital where he currently remains. His injuries are no longer considered life-threatening.
