A man was stabbed and robbed of liquor Wednesday evening in Williams Lake, said RCMP Staff Sgt. Del Byron.

"He showed up at the emergency room at the hospital after he was stabbed," Byron said.

When police interviewed the victim at 8:25 p.m. in the hospital, he told them he had just finished purchasing a 12-pack of Budweiser beer and two mickeys at a liquor store and was walking down the path from Donald Road when he was approached by some people.

"They tried to rob him and they stabbed him and made off with the liquor," Byron said. "After the third stab he blacked out."

Police continue to investigate the incident, Byron added.
