Police are looking for witnesses or anyone with footage of a stabbing that occurred early Saturday morning in Dartmouth.

At approximately 1:40 a.m., police were called to Ranya Lane where a man was found lying on the ground suffering from stab wounds. The victim was transported to hospital where his injuries were determined non-life-threatening.

A statement from police says the 29-year-old man described the attack as unprovoked. He said he was walking along the sidewalk when he was stabbed from behind.
