Five people were taken to hospital after a family function at a banquet hall in Surrey turned violent Friday night.
Four of the injured suffered stab wounds, while the fifth was an elderly woman who had her arm broken when she was knocked over. All were known to each other and had been invited to the event, police said, and none of the injuries was life-threatening.
The fight broke out in the parking lot of Crown Palace Banquet Hall on Nordel Way around midnight, Sgt. M.A. Hedderson said in a press release.
Police believe a knife was the weapon used. Officers are still interviewing witnesses and a suspect has not yet been identified.
Anyone who witnessed the incident or observed people fleeing the scene are asked to call the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502, or to call Crime Stoppers.
