According to the VPD, at around 1:15 am on Tuesday, March 14, police were called to a home on Ferndale Street near Lakewood Drive after receiving a report of a stabbing.
Officers arrived on the scene to find a 27-year-old man inside the property suffering from a serious stab wound. The man was taken to hospital in stable condition by paramedics.
After speaking with the occupants of the home, officers determined that they were the victims of a home invasion, and the suspect was not known to them.
A possible suspect was located by officers at 2 am in the area of East Pender Street and Garden Drive.
