The victim, who is not known to police, was rushed to hospital, where his condition was stabilized, said police.
The suspect fled before police arrived. He is described as a tall and skinny man wearing a black shirt and black pants.
The Surrey RCMP serious crimes unit is leading the investigation, and Mounties said they are still trying to determine whether the attack was targeted and whether the injured man was the indented victim.
