Coquitlam RCMP asked for the public's help and the public complied.

Last week, police issued a plea for information about the stabbing of a Maple Ridge teen at the Coquitlam bus loop two months ago.

The 19-year-old man was stabbed multiple times, including one jab through the heart, while waiting for the bus at Coquitlam Central Station on Dec. 15. He is currently recovering from life-threatening injuries.

For the first time, police released surveillance videos of the suspect last Thursday. They also showed a green hoodie discarded by the suspect near the scene.

Since then, police have received tips from the public.

"We got some tips coming in, which is a good thing," Cpl. Jamie Chung said Monday. "Hopefully we will be able to identify him sooner rather than later."

The suspect is described as a white man of average height and build who is about 30 years old. He has a lean face with a square jaw and pronounced cheekbones.

At the time of the stabbing, he had brown hair in an army-style buzz cut. He was wearing white pants, a green hoodie and black shoes. Witnesses noted that he had noticeable body odour.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Coquitlam RCMP's major crimes section at 604-945-1477.
