METRO VANCOUVER - Burnaby RCMP are looking for four men after a fight at Burnaby's Metrotown shopping mall ended with two young men being sent to hospital with serious injuries.
Burnaby police were called to the bustling retail mall at 5:30 p.m. Friday to attend to a stabbing between two men.
By 6 p.m. police ordered many stores in the mall's lower court closed.
The fight began with men whipping their belts at one another near the elevators at the lower court, and ended about two feet in front of the Off the Wall clothing store, according to store manager Eric Urbano.
By then it had escalated into a knife fight with two men involved. "It's pretty bloody out there," said Urbano. "I've been here for 12 years and I've never seen anything this bad. Some of the staff was shaken a little bit. It's a little too close to home."
The injured men are in stable condition.
BTW, there were some violent robberies yesterday: BEWARE!!!

Vancouver police are warning the public to be cautious after a series of violent robberies in southeast Vancouver.
Police believe that a group of five young men, and two women, are responsible for committing at least three violent robberies between 5 and 9 p.m. on Nov. 6.
The first robbery happened at 5:15 p.m., when a 24-year-old man was robbed of his money and belongings while walking home from Joyce SkyTrain station. He was approached by a group of men, who hit him in the head and knocked him to the ground. He suffered facial lacerations.
Half an hour later, a 25-year-old man was attacked by a group of men and women near Payne and Monmouth streets. He was pepper sprayed before suspects ran off without stealing anything.
AT 9 p.m., three 17-year-olds were attacked by three men in the 3300-block East 49th Avenue. The teens were pepper sprayed and were robbed of cellphones and an iPod.
Vancouver police believe the suspects include four Asian men, one black man and two white women.

Two separate robberies in Vancouver
VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - Vancouver police have apprehended two girls following an assault on two women last night-- one of the suspects is just 12 years old, the other is 16 years old.
A group of four girls approached two women who were waiting at a bus stop near Commercial Drive and Frances Street -- that's when one of the two girls started pushing around one of the women and stole her bag.
Together with the other girl they punched the other victim in the face and robbed her of 10 dollars.
Both suspects face charges of robbery and breach of release conditions.
The other incident happened near Main Street and East Hastings overnight.
A woman, who is blind in one eye, was attacked by a man who was trying to steal her jacket.
The suspect beat her head so bad, her other eye which she can see from was swollen shut.
She is now recovering in hospital -- while the suspect was arrested right away.
Kids have too much freedom here or what? Robbing people in the middle of the night and stabbing in a mall....
Should throw them in jail!作者: siumaibb 時間: 2008-11-10 10:12
I laughed after I saw this "whipping each other"
the scene is pretty bloody.......why did they fight??作者: GAClone 時間: 2008-11-10 11:03
hahahaha ya, the "whipping each other" part was pretty funny.
But i think stabbing at metro shouldn't come as a surprise. There are a lot of bums around there. and they're usually looking for trouble and/or attention. i think as long as you stay out of trouble and dont piss anyone off, there shouldn't be any random attacks happening.
As for the robberies and pepper spraying incidents...now that's a different story...作者: news 時間: 2008-11-10 12:10
why is Vancouver so unsafe now?!?
