West Shore RCMP are seeking the public’s help in identifying two teenagers who allegedly assaulted two gas station employees and randomly stabbed a stranger.

At around 9 p.m. on October 14th, police responded to a report of a stabbing at the Esso gas station at 2953 Jacklin Road in Langford.

According to the RCMP, officers were initially called to the 7-Eleven across the street from the Esso. 

Police say there was a report of an intoxicated group of teens between the ages of 13 and 18-years-old threatening passersby and employees of the 7-Eleven while brandishing knives.

According to police, the youth suspects allegedly assaulted two customers of the convenience store before leaving. 

While police were at the 7-Eleven investigating, they were alerted to a stabbing across the street at the Esso.

Police say one victim, who is a 30-year-old man, was struck with a baton and stabbed in his upper body. 

He was immediately transported to hospital where his wounds are still being assessed, police said. 

Police say all three victims have no apparent relation to the young suspects. 

Officers are actively trying to identify the group of teens responsible. Two of the teen suspects police specifically want to identify are the ones believed responsible for the series of assaults.
