Several people in a Surrey, B.C. neighbourhood rushed to call 911 on early Monday to report a group of people attacking a man with a machete.
RCMP said they received several calls at about 1 a.m. from the 14100 block of 75th Avenue. Callers said there was a large amount of blood on the scene as well, said an RCMP news release.
Police found a 25-year-old man with several slashes on his body "caused by being struck a number of times by the edged weapon." He was treated in hospital for non life-threatening injuries.
