Man in critical condition after stabbing in Coquitlam, B.C.

RCMP are investigating a stabbing at the Coquitlam Central Station bus loop that happened shortly after midnight early Thursday morning.

Police say a 19-year-old man from Maple Ridge, B.C., is in hospital and in critical condition after being attacked.

The motive for the attack is unclear.

The bus loop was closed to the public this morning, but a temporary bus loop was set up in the south parking lot at Coquitlam Centre Mall as of 8:30 a.m.

Translink set up temporary bus stops nearby and supervisors were on scene to assist customers.

The park and ride was also closed, and the West Coast Express stop is accessible by foot only.

Translink says transit conditions have returned to normal at the bus loop.
