Three men have been arrested in connection with what Transit Police say was an unprovoked attack on three other men near Surrey Central SkyTrain Station on June 21.
鈥淎llegedly, one victim was stabbed in the back, another victim was stabbed in the chest, and a third victim was struck in the head with an object and bear-sprayed in the face,鈥� Const. Amanda Steed said. Emergency Health Services (EHS) took two of the victims to hospital.
鈥淎ll three men have since physically recovered from their injuries.鈥�
Transit Police are recommending charges of aggravated assault, assault with a weapon, and possession for the purpose of trafficking.
鈥淎ll three suspects have since been released with several conditions pending their next court appearance,鈥� Steed said. Their names have not been released.
In addition, as a result of the investigation, on July 5 police armed with a residential search warrant seized four guns, 鈥渟ome with illegal modification,鈥� ammo, bullet-proof body armor, 195 grams of fentanyl, 176 grams of crystal methamphetamine and 57 grams of cocaine, a 3D printer, ammunition press, approximately $10,000 in cash and an 鈥渋mprovised explosive device.鈥�
鈥淲e hope that the outcomes in this case serve to demonstrate that anyone responsible for violence on or near the transit system will be held accountable,鈥� Steed said.
