A man was rushed to hospital suffering from stab wounds after an incident at Shaughnessy Street and Lions Way Wednesday afternoon.
Police arrived on the scene shortly after 3:30 p.m. and traffic in the area was snarled as many commuters were coming home from work.
The extent of the victim's injuries are unknown and the Coquitlam RCMP said investigators would not be able to release any further information at this time.
"He is in stable condition," said Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung on Thursday morning. "The injuries were severe but non-life threatening."
He added that investigators are still combing the scene searching for evidence and that more information would be forthcoming later in the day.
