The Grande Prairie RCMP is seeking help from the public in identifying a suspect involved in an alleged assault with a weapon that occurred in the early hours of September 13th.
According to police, members of the Grande Prairie RCMP responded to a report of an attempted theft and potential stabbing early Friday morning.
Upon arrival, police found a 46-year-old male victim, suffering from a wound to his arm. As a result, officers employed life-saving measures on the scene and an investigation was launched into what happened.
The victim describes interrupting a suspect who was allegedly rifling through his vehicle before a struggle began. Police suggest the victim attempted to detain the suspect, and was struck with an unknown, edged weapon before the suspect fled the scene on a bicycle.
The suspect is described as a male wearing dark-coloured pants, a black hooded sweatshirt, wearing a large backpack.
Any eyewitnesses or those with security or dash cam footage recorded on September 13th between the hours of 4:50 a.m. and 5:10 a.m. in the area of 107th Avenue between 100th and 99th Street are asked to contact the Grande Prairie RCMP at (780)-830-5701.
