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.
