VicPD Major Crime detectives are asking for the public’s help in their investigation into a serious stabbing that happened five years ago in Beacon Hill Park near Dallas Road.

Officers were called to the park just after midnight on Jan. 12, 2014, where they found a 48-year-old man with potentially life-threatening stab wounds. The victim was rushed to hospital where he remained for 10 days after the attack.

The attack happened near a public shelter next to the off-leash dog area on the Waterfront Trail, along Dallas Road near Finlayson Point.

The victim has asked for anybody with information to come forward.

“I was significantly impacted by this, and I still deal with the after effects, both physical and emotional, today,” said the victim, who wishes to remain anonymous. “I hope that anyone with any information will come forward to find the person who did this to me.”
