The victim and his girlfriend boarded a SkyTrain at Gateway Station heading for Surrey Central.

The victim, a 24-year-old residing in Surrey, was rushed to hospital in serious condition and has since been released.
“The suspect continued on the train to King George Station where he then exited the station.”
