Police are turning to the public for help identifying a suspect in a stabbing that took place on a walking trail in Langford last week.

A teenager was stabbed once in the back shortly before 10 p.m. on Oct. 11 while walking on the E&N rail trail near Station Avenue, going toward the Langford bus exchange.

The 18-year-old victim was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and is expected to make a full recovery, police said.

After an extensive search of the area by officers and a police dog, West Shore RCMP were not able to locate a suspect.

The attacker is described as a 30-year-old white man standing six-foot-four with blond hair. He was wearing blue jeans and a black or grey hoodie.

Police ask anyone who witnessed the crime or has dash-cam footage taken near the Langford bus exchange on Oct. 11 between 9 and 10 p.m. to contact them by calling 250-474-2264. Anonymous reports can be made to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
