RCMP in Chilliwack investigating two seemingly unprovoked stabbings

RCMP in Chilliwack are investigating two separate stabbings in the same area.

One of the stabbings involved an 80-year-old man with dementia.

Spokeswoman Sergeant Krista Vrolyk says the seemingly unprovoked incidents are extremely concerning and people should be aware of their surroundings, walk with someone else if possible, and report any suspicious activity.

Police says a 58 year old man was stabbed on a street but managed to walk to a hospital, where he was treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

But the elderly man who was stabbed in the same area 45 minutes later remains in intensive care.
