Waterloo Regional Police (WRPS) are hoping the victim of a stabbing in Cambridge Saturday night will come forward.

Police were called to the Elgin Street North and Bushnell Drive area around 9:30 p.m. on reports of a physical altercation involving two groups of youths.

Police were told on their arrival that one male had been stabbed. Another male suffered minor injuries but refused medical treatment.

The whereabouts of the stabbing victim remains unknown at this time, but police would like to ask him some questions.

Police believe this was a targeted incident, so there is no threat to public safety.

The investigation is ongoing.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Waterloo Regional Police Service at 519-570-9777.

Anonymous information can be provided to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or submitted online at www.waterloocrimestoppers.com.
