Two men have been charged in a stabbing incident at a Coquitlam grocery store on Aug. 2, 2018. 

At 4:15 p.m., two suspects allegedly attacked two other men at a store in the 3000 block of Lougheed Highway. 

The men are Deshawn van Nguyen, a 22-year-old from Vancouver, and Desmond Gary Russell, a 22-year-old from Surrey. 

They are each facing two counts of assault with a weapon, and two counts of assault causing bodily harm.

The victims received serious, but non life-threatening injuries. Both suspects are known to police and it is believed the attack was targeted.

As police we understand how upsetting these public incidents can be," said Corporal Michael McLaughlin with Coquitlam RCMP. "Thorough investigations take time but we want people to know that we don’t let these incidents slide. We are always working to keep our community safe."
