Prince George RCMP say the man had just come from the Skateboad Park on Massey Drive yesterday afternoon, and met up with 2-3 other males who ased him for change, When he refused to hand over money, one of the suspects pulled a knife and slashed him in the throat and abdomen.

The suspects took off, and the victim walked out on to Massey Drive where a passing motorist saw the man was in distress and pulled over. The victim was taken to PGRH where he underwent emergency surgery. He is listed in serious but stable condtion.

Massey Drive was shut down for a time under the Highway 97 overpass as Forensic Identification Officers were brought in to examine the crime scene. A police service dog followed a track for several kilometres, but the track was lost because of heavy foot traffic in the area.

Police say they are looking for 2, possibly three young men, aged 19 - 21. One may have been wearing Khaki pants. Police are also asking that anyone who might have witnessed this attack to give them a call at 561-3300

Oh my God isn't that horrible, and they want to put in an underpass??? That poor man, thank God for the good samaritan that stopped to help. Now hopefully he can describe and nail the scum that did this.

And the judge can give them a suspended sentence for a first offence. If they are really young they can be sentenced to "open custody" or even house arrest. That'll learn 'em.
